Why does ethics only weakly contribute to the most crucial problems
of the current world? Relational Agency and Environmental Ethics: A
Journey Beyond Humanism as We Know It explores how the concept of
moral agency embedded in modern humanist ethics, in its reliance on
environmentally harmful and scientifically implausible
presuppositions, prevents ethics from efficiently supporting a
sustainability transition. The modernist individualist notion of
agency includes conceptual dichotomies between moral agency and
human nature, mind and body, reason and emotion, and knowledge and
will, yet it should be revised without dismissing responsibility,
normativity, and a shared ground for critical assessment. Suvielise
Nurmi proposes an agential shift resting on a relational concept of
agency, combining ecofeminist and evolutionary criticisms of
modernism together with various interdisciplinary discussions
involving philosophy of mind, cognitive science, anthropology,
social ontology, and developmental biology and psychology. This
book argues that the relational shift can resolve the dilemma and
bring environmental relationships to the core of ethical discourse:
there is no ethics distinct from environmental ethics.
Environmental responsibilities can be justified as responsibilities
for one’s relationally considered agency.
