The impact of science and technology on human life has given rise
to a technology-mediated environment alongside our natural
environment, presenting new issues concerning bioethics,
environmental ethics, and the way in which technology is turning
human beings into 'skilled animals.' The new field of eco-ethica
explores issues arising from this changed habitat and our changing
moral consciousness and presents an ethics that transcends
interpersonal ethics so as to also encompass companies and
governments. The author advocates learning from nature and argues
that the human race has an ethical responsibility toward nature and
things, including life itself. By demonstrating that virtues were
created as necessary in the past, he raises the possibility of
creating new virtues to meet contemporary needs. With a firm grasp
of Western philosophy and ethics, the author adds a new dimension
by contributing a Japanese perspective.
