| Abstract
|
:
|
This paper explores the conceptual links between the intellectual mastery of the content of a course on the ecological and economic aspects of environmental preservation, and the felt commitment to environmental preservation. I discuss the sense in which a practical ethics course is necessarily oriented to the adoption of a normative agenda, in this case to making recognition of environmental value part of the requirements of the course, and present some experience from my own university's seminar on environmental studies.
