Reading the landscape. A hermeneutic approach to environmental ethics
Start a new DMP in Loading
The overall purpose of this project is to examine what philosophical hermeneutics can contribute to environmental ethics, and test the usefulness of the hermeneutic perspective in environmental ethics in the evaluation ecological restoration projects. The aim of this project is, first, to investigate whether a hermeneutic approach can help understand the connection between readings and interpretations of the landscape, personal narrative identity ("environmental identity") and environmental ethics, second, to examine whether a hermeneutic explication and articulation of ethical motives in landscape conflicts regarding the human relation to landscapes can help improve moral debates on landscape issues, and third, to inquire if hermeneutics can provide the conceptual building blocks and deliberative tools for an ethical framework that help to evaluate existing landscape practices.
