The seminar is part of a series, "CBM Seminar Series", with four seminars during the spring 2019 that will focus on different aspects of environmental ethics and biological diversity.
21 March: Markku Oksanen (University of Eastern Finland):
Biodiversity crisis and human(‘s) rights
Markku Oksanen has a long track record of investigating ethical, and other, aspects of biodiversity, such as the moral value of biodiversity (Ambio, 1997), and in the anthology Philosophy and Biodiversity (2004). He will present a work in progress, tentatively entitled 'Biodiversity crisis and human('s) rights'.
The seminars are open for both researchers and students with different background. With these seminars, we aim to stimulate discussion on environmental ethical questions. The seminars consists of a shorter lecture, followed by a discussion where all perspectives are welcome!
