Abstract

Due to the increasing rate of human’s economic activity and rapid population growth, twenty first century has seen an unprecedented environmental change. These changes have an unprecedented impact on climate, life-sustaining systems on the earth. Future generations are exposed to great harm by the way in which humans exploit environmental resources of the earth. There is a call among environmental ethicists to review human ethical relationship with the environment as to attain sustainable development for the now and the future generations. Hence, the essence of this paper is to discuss the anthropoholistic environmental ethics, sustainable development and the future Generations. This paper argues that humans need to strive for a new and more respectful relationship with the natural environment in other to attain sustainable development. Also, human obligations towards sustainable development for the future must find a firm basis in social ethics: those obligations have to do with our conception of a just society.

Abstract

A person is not independent, perfect and self-sufficient. A person in the context of society and culture should appreciates, values the good of an action, chooses it over its alternatives and eventually may bring it to actualization. However, in our current era, there is now a sense of pending disaster, the rootlessness of the human person, which points to the decadence of moral culture. Moral decadence within societies and culture has led this research to appraisal of the concepts and linkage between person, moral culture and social freedom. This research argues that there is an urgent need to grasp with new insight the dignity of the person, to recoil from oppression and to search for ways to respond to the moral dilemmas among human cultures and societies. This calls for a moral imperative that can survey the values of human culture so that the profoundly humane achievements and commitments of people might be engaged and promoted. This work employs the philosophical tools of critical analysis in carrying out this research
