IRS awards ISEE nonprofit status
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS)has notified the board of ISEE that ourapplication for nonprofit status as apublic charity has been accepted. Thiscompletes an effort to "regularize" thelegal status of ISEE, which let itsincorporated status lapse at some pointduring the past 10 to 15 years. We arenow incorporated anew, in the state ofColorado, and a 501 (c) (3) public charityunder the internal revenue code. Amongother things, having public charity statusmeans we can now receive gifts orbequests that are tax deductibleso feelfree.

2015 Winners of the Holmes Rolston IIIEarly Career Prize Announced
ISEE is pleased to announce the winnersof the 2015 Holmes Rolston Early CareerPrize. They are Toby Svoboda, anassistant professor at FairlfieldUniversity, and Tyler Kasperbauer, apostdoctoral fellow in the Department ofFood and Resource Economics at theUniversity of Copenhagen.
Svoboda won for his essay"Geoengineering, AgentRegret, and theLesser of Two Evils Argument,” where heargues that proposals to deploy solarradiation management (SRM) to fightclimate change are immune to objectionsthat a climate emergency mightconstitute a genuine moral dilemma inwhich SRM would be impermissible evenif it was the best option.
Kasperbauer won for his essay"Naturalizing Sentimentalism forEnvironmental Ethics.” He argues thatclassic sentimentalism rather than neosentimentalism provides the bestgrounding for environmental ethics, inpart because it better fits the facts ofhuman psychology.
Svoboda and Kasperbauer win $500prizes from ISEE. Their essays will bepublished in the journal "EnvironmentalEthics" later this year.

Jeremy David BendikKeymer: This pastyear, I finished an entry on massextinction for the Oxford Handbook ofEnvironmental Ethics and a book ofexperimental writing that involved six"spiritual exercises" ascetic practices ofphilosophy done in different ways. SolarCalendar, and Other Ways of MarkingTime wove togetherin the words of onereader"the cosmos in the personal andthe personal in the cosmos." One of itscentral problems was the difficulty ofkeeping in view both personal andgeologicalor planetaryperspectives,and two of the studies directly concernedmass extinction. Another reader wrote,"Like much of the best writing on therelation between human civilization andnonhuman nature—Thoreau’smeditations in Walden, Herman Melville’s“The Encantadas,” Rachel Carson’s TheSea Around Us, the poetry of KennethRexroth, Robinson Jeffers, and JorieGraham—Solar Calendar opens uptemporal vortices, through which we canconsider simultaneously the contrastingframes of human, geological, and evencosmic time. ... I have never readanything like Solar Calendar. ... Thoughthe scope of its concerns is vast, it is awork equally fitted to the scale of ahuman reader. "
This coming year, I will be workingfurther on capabilities and other specieswith Martha and Rachel Nussbaum,Breena Holland, Amy Linch, and others;doing some interdisciplinary work onpolicing; and writing an entry for theCambridge handbook on capabilities. Iam also putting together past andforthcoming work on anthroponomy formy next book, The Anthroponomists. Thisnext book deepens and follows throughthe main idea of Allen Thompson's andmy Ethical Adaptation to Climate Changethat adaptation demands adjustedethical concepts. The Anthroponomists
will be typically theoreticalnotexperimental in genreand willconceptualize the active citizen scaled toplanetary environmental change. Finally,I will be collaborating with artist MichaelRakowitz and many others on a multiyear socially engaged art project inCleveland around the killing of Tamir Ricecalled A Color Removed.
Ken Shockley: A few highlights from abusy year: I am coediting several specialissues of Ethics, Policy, and Environmenton the UNFCCC climate changenegotiations and related matters (pleasekeep your eyes peeled for calls forpapers). After hosting the secondworkshop on ethics and adaptation inMay, I will be hosting another workshopon ethics and adaptation duringSeptember of 2016 (please keep youreyes peeled for that call as well). I'vebeen busy directing UB's SustainabilityAcademy, which has led me to spend abit of time pondering different forms ofcollaboration and the relationshipbetween Sustainability, EnvironmentalStudies, and Environmental Philosophy.And I've continued my collaborative workwith a team of Environmental Engineersand Oral Historians looking at legacygroundwater contamination sites, whichhas led me to participate more heavily inAESS, and to spend a bit of timerethinking the relationship betweenecological systems and value. And I'mtrying to spend every remaining momentin the woods.

Emily Brady: Emily Brady, University ofEdinburgh and a past President of ISEE,will be delivering her inaugural lecture onMay 28th, 2015 in Edinburgh, "NaturalBeauty: A Philosophical Approach". Emilywas promoted to a professorial chair,Professor of Environment and Philosophy,at the University in 2013. Edinburgh hasan historical tradition of 'inaugural'lectures for new professors.
Matt Ferkany: Spring has been a busyand somewhat wild term. In January Ipresented at a conference hosted by theJubilee Centre for Character and Virtuesin Birmingham, UK and this led to a weekconferencing with the Centre in Rome,Italy in March and a 3month researchfellowship at the University ofBirmingham to begin in September.Meanwhile I will be rejoining theDepartment of Philosophy at MichiganState University as assistant professor ofethics while maintaining a 25%appointment in Teacher Education. Thischange positions me well to continue mywork connecting ideas in environmentalvirtue ethics to democratic charactereducation.
Allen Thompson: Allen was selected fora Carson Fellowship at the Rachel CarsonCenter for Environment and Society. He’llbe in residency at the RCC in MunichGermany for three months in the springof 2016.
Jennifer Everett: As codirector ofDePauw's environmental honorsprogram, I will be attending a workshopat Wellesley College on June 8th and 9thon Diversity and Privilege Across theEnvironmental Studies Curriculum. Sincepeople of color are underrepresented inenvironmental professions and academicprograms across the disciplines, andeven more underrepresented in thediscipline of philosophy, it's a pretty safe
empirical bet that EnvironmentalPhilosophy as a field could stand tobenefit from more diverse perspectives.I'm interested in hearing from others inthe discipline who would be interested inworking concretely toward this end.

New website to integrate and coordinateactivities of climate change scholars
Our members might well be interested ina new initiative, Global Climate ChangeWeek (GCCW), intended to integrate andcoordinate the efforts of the wide rangeof academics interested in climatechange action. The intent is to focusefforts around the week of Oct 1925through the use of the GCCW website(http://globalclimatechangeweek.com).
From Keith Horton, the organizer, “Oneof the website’s features is a map thatwill show which academics around theworld are taking part and (if appropriate)what they are planning to do(http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/gccwmap). The map becomes populatedwhen academics fill in the ‘register yourinterest’ (or ‘register an activity’) formon the rhs of every page. So if you thinkyou would like to participate, do pleasefill the form in!” If you have anyquestions or suggestions regardingGCCW, please contact KeithHorton:[email protected].

An Update on OBET
Editor’s note: David Lahti is AssistantProfessor of Biology at Queen’s CollegeCUNY. He maintains the OnlineBibliography of Environmental Thought(OBET), which has recently been downsome time for updating. He recentlyshared information on the history ofOBET, its current state, and future plansfor improvement. He can be contacted [email protected].
For those unfamiliar with it, OBETis the Online Bibliography ofEnvironmental Thought (OBET), aresource of ISEE. It is a database ofprofessional literature and other mediaon the relationship between humans andnature. It has been (and will continue tobe, once it is up again) locatedat http://www.iseeobet.org.
OBET has been down for about ayear to prepare for a newplatform, which should be up in July2015.
OBET began as a way of bringingISEE's existing environmental databaseup to date electronically, with a modernweb interface. Several ISEE membershave submitted materials to it, and ourmeager staff here at the City Universityof New York (with a lot of early help fromWilliam GroveFanning) have brought thetotal number of references currentlycovered up to over 20,000. 22environmental journals are completelycovered by it so far. To ourknowledge, OBET is the first fully usermanaged topical academic database.Like other bibliographic databases, it isfully searchable and sortable, groupedinto topical categories, and results canbe exported in generic formats.
8ISEE Newsletter Summer 2015
Unlike most academic databasesthat are subscribed to for a fee, OBET isfree for public use, and anyone in theworld with access to the Internet canview the entries. Of course, copyrightlaws apply: Unless someone hasuploaded papers to the site, onlyreferences and in many cases URLs willbe available such that viewers wouldhave to have a subscription to get to theactual articles or books.
Although anyone can useOBET, registered Contributors can uploadtheir own files and modify entries. Allcontributions, whether the entry ofbibliographic references, criticalcommentary, or uploaded materials, arepermanently associated with theirContributors.
OBET was officially launched onDecember 28, 2010, on the 20thanniversary of the inauguration of theInternational Society of EnvironmentalEthics and, one might say, of theacademic field of Environmental Ethics.This founding took place in Boston at theEastern Division meeting of the AmericanPhilosophical Association, by Prof.Holmes Rolston III and other officers.Prof. Rolston then began the ISEEBibliography, till OBET the largestbibliography in the world onenvironmental issues, locatedat http://www.cep.unt.edu/bib. We arecurrently importing its entire contentsinto OBET with his blessing.
Recently 201314 saw thefollowing:
Doubling of references indexed, from10,000 to 20,000 (currently 21,580). Increase in Environmental journalsfrom which full contents are indexed,from 1523. Continued data entry of 19902008 CEPbibliography (in alphabetical order: wason A, now on C).
Mark Megerian has come on board asmanager of contributions: he solicits andoversees the student data entryvolunteers. Nikki Hanson is programming a newplatform for OBET.
Those who have tried to accessOBET recently will have noticed that it iscurrently not available. I have beenhoping for some time that we could havegreater control over OBET's functionality,appearance, and cost. We are currentlyin the process of transferring OBET froma proprietary platform to a new serverdedicated entirely to OBET. This transferhas the benefit of being both free andcan be modified as we wish over time. Ihope the new server will be up andrunning in July 2015.
The following are furtherexpectations for 2015:
PhilPapers will eventually integrate thephilosophy portion of OBET's references,and link to the OBET site. Increase indexed references to 30,000 Increase covered fullcontentsEnvironmental journals to 30 Continue data entry of 19902008 CEPbibliography, through the letter F. Take on a volunteer to integrate OBETwith social media Integrate bibliographic contributionsfrom the ISEE Newsletter (WilliamGroveFanning and I tried to accomplishthis in 2012 but we did not finish).
In the meantime, please let meknow if you have any suggestions,especially as we are currently working onthe design of the new web interface. Ilook forward to sharing it with you beforewe go live, and as I mentioned we canalways change it in the future as well. David Lahti

ARTICLE
Biodiversity and Environmental Ethicistsas Educators: An Interview with Phil
Cafaro
Editor's note: In the coming issues, I willbe interviewing different thinkers onsome aspect of their work inenvironmental ethics, but also on thebigger theme of how environmentalthinkers can bring their ideas to thebroader public or otherwise act toeducate the public on environmentalissues. I started at the top of ISEE byasking Phil Cafaro some questions onbiodiversity and the role of the universityprofessor in environmental education.
Ferkany: You have defended relativelyrecently a broadly nonanthropocentricway of thinking about the morality ofspecies preservation. If I understand itcorrectly, you think human interests inspecies preservation matter, we need topay attention to how this affects us, butthere's still a moral imperative topreserve biodiversity. Can you speak towhy we should worry about speciesextinction and why should people reallycare about this?
Cafaro: I think there are a number ofreasons why we should care aboutspecies extinction. The science isrelatively clear that we are convertinghabitats rapidly, changing the climate,introducing exotic species, overharvesting wildlife, and altogetherputting tremendous pressure on otherspecies. A recent study by the WorldWildlife Fund, for example, affirmed thatif you look at vertebrate populations, allvertebrate types—birds, mammals, fish,reptiles, amphibians—there has been a52% decline in overall populationsaround the world in just the last twogenerations, the last 40 to 50 years. Sowe are looking at a world where we arerapidly replacing everything else with usand our economic support systems, and
we are losing a tremendous amount.
So, why should we care about that? Whynot just think, “Well, we're running theshow now and these changes are goodfor us?” Well they’re not good for us,that's one answer. But another answer isother species have intrinsic value.They're complex, they have ancientgenealogies … Each species is a genuineachievement, with a unique history and aunique destiny.
Then too, they call it biodiversity for areason. I mean it's part of what makesthis world a wonderful place, the factthat there are so many different kinds oforganisms, living in so many differentways, interacting in so many differentways. When we just rapidly displace allthat, it's a tremendous loss.
In his new book, Flight Ways: Life andLoss at the Edge of Extinction, Thom vanDooren's take on this is that eachparticular endangered species is adifferent case, you're tampering with adifferent history, you're cutting offdifferent ties that human beings couldhave to that species. So he resiststalking in general terms. He wants tosay, if we keep these around we canhave wonderful relationships with themand appreciate them, and all of thatrings very true to me. But you know,we've also got this idea that we'veinitiated a 6th mass extinction, and wehave to reckon with that, get at what theoverall story means. We’re not justlosing this, that, or the other species. Weare on track to do away with a fairamount of the biodiversity in the world inthe next century or two.
Ferkany: You've also defended broadideas within environmental virtue ethics,too, which sometimes casts itself astaking an approach to these issues thatsomehow fits in between the
10 ISEE Newsletter Summer 2015
anthropocentric and nonanthropocentricdivide. I am wondering whether youwould agree that maybe there's a spacefrom within a virtue orientation that'ssomewhere in between saying, one theone hand, "Well we should care justbecause it's in our interest to do so, wedon't want to ruin the planet forourselves" and "We should care becausewe have a duty grounded in the intrinsicvalue of species to do so," a space whichfocuses on the virtue, or lack thereof,that would be shown by us of justrampantly destroying these otherspecies, as if we're the only ones herethat matter. Right, why are we soimportant that we get to decide who getsto stay and who gets to go?
Cafaro: Yeah, it think it's true, you cantake just a very nuts and bolts approachto it and say, "These might be resourcesfor our use and so we should be carefulwith them." But on the other hand youhave the kind of intrinsic valueapproaches that Holmes Rolston andBaird Callicott, have advanced, and thereis a sense in which the environmentalvirtue ethics approach is a little bitsplitting the difference there and saying,"Look at our enlightened selfinterest.Think about the kind of world you wantyou and your children to live in. Thinkabout the kind of relationships with therest of nature you want to have. Thinkabout the kind of story you would becomfortable telling yourself and yoursociety about your role in eitherstewarding creation or in destroying it,displacing it.” So there's a sense in whichyou are sort of splitting the differencethere in a nice way.
Ferkany: In one of the older papersyou've written, on wildness, you get intosome of these issues. And there I thinkone of your ideas is that one of the mainthings we need to do relative tobiodiversity is to have a robust parkssystem. We need to limit development tomake sure we have spaces for wildspecies to be wild. Is that a view you still
hold today? What do you see as the maindrivers of species loss today and whatare the main things you think we need todo about it?
Cafaro: Yeah, I'm still a big proponent ofparks and protected areas. I think thecase is absolutely clear that protecting asmuch landscape and seascape aspossible is really one of the keys topreserving biodiversity. That's beenshown over and over again.
Recently, it's funny, people have beenpointing out that just preserving landdoesn't necessarily preserve species;habitat can be degraded and Impactsfrom outside can come in. And so, somepeople are saying that we don't need tofocus as much on protected areas. Theysay we have to focus more on conservingthings outside of protected areas. And,it's just a classic logical fallacy: protectedareas are a necessary part of conservingbiodiversity, but not in themselvessufficient for doing so, and so somepeople are talking as if they weren’t evennecessary.
There's been a big debate in theconservation biology literature aboutthis, and sure enough, the studies arecoming back, over and over again,saying that you do a much better job ofpreserving biodiversity in stronglyprotected areas. Outside lands, multipleuse lands, these are very important forconservation, very important forbiodiversity. We should do more workingwith them. But all that said, the bestthing you can do to preserve species is topreserve relatively unmodified habitat.And I think the conservation biologistsare stating that relatively clearly.
On your other question: if you look atthe main drivers of species loss,biodiversity loss, conservation biologistsalways come back to what they call thebig five: habitat loss and degradation,overexploitation (overhunting,overfishing and such), pollution, invasive
11ISEE Newsletter Summer 2015
species, and climate change. So theytend to focus on those. But what'sdriving those?
If you look a little deeper, what's really“driving the drivers” is human economicactivity, of one sort or another. Thatreally is a function of the number ofpeople and per capita consumption,production and demand. And so whenyou really get down to it, it's ever morepeople putting ever more economicpressure on the landscape that's drivingthe loss of biodiversity. For that reason, Ithink that conservationists,environmental ethicists, conservationbiologists, need to talk a lot more aboutreining in those two things. We need tostabilize and probably substantiallyreduce our populations, and we need towork more towards a steady stateeconomy. Without that, I don't think allthe things we tend to focus on topreserve biodiversity are gonna work. Dothose two things and preserve as muchof the landscape and seascape aspossible. That's what we need to do topreserve biodiversity.
Ferkany: Okay, okay. So, um, the veryidea of biodiversity lately has beencontroversial, too, in some ways, andthis is another thing that you talk aboutin the wilderness paper. Truthfully, Idon't think I understand this criticismvery well and I'm wondering what yourtake on it is. What exactly is the criticismthat biodiversity is somehow a confusion,or that often the evidence is that we seemore of it in places that are developedlike agricultural lands? How do youunderstand this criticism and what of thetruth, if any, is being grasped there?
Cafaro: Yeah, there are different thingsthat people are saying about this. One ofthem has to do with criticizing the ideaof wildness. Another has to do with thequestion of whether people, when theyalter a landscape, are always harming it:can they sometimes increase biodiversityin that place? So those are two separate
and important issues to get into.
Let's take the latter issue first, this ideathat conservationists in the past havepushed wilderness conservation toomuch, and it turns out we can preserve alot of biodiversity on managedlandscapes, that maybe in some casesour activities can even increase totalspecies numbers. I think what you've gothere are some half truths people havepounced on and then tossed the babyout with the bath water.
Gary Nabhan, for instance, a couple ofyears ago pointed out that if you go tothe desert in southwestern Arizona andyou just count bird species there, you'regoing to get one number of species. Butif you go to a moderately developed,managed landscape in the same areawhere people have built some smallreservoirs, you're going to find largerspecies numbers. Well, that sort ofmakes sense, right? Birds will travel tofind water, etc, etc. So it's true.
In the same way, sometimes I might beable to find more birds right here aroundFort Collins, a managed landscape, thanI'll be able to find out on the prairiegrasslands 30 miles to the east, a lessdeveloped landscape. But what I'll find inFort Collins will be lots of introducedspecies having a global distribution and itwon't really be many of the specialiststhat would have been found here beforewhite settlement. So when I go out tothe Pawnee Grasslands, I don't see asmany species, but I'll see McCowan'slarkspurs, lark buntings, and I'll seethings that I just won't see in developedareas.
So you know, globally, biodiversity is thecreation of many, many different kinds ofspecial places with many differentcondition and habitats. When we createour own settlements and bring in a lot ofgeneralist species, we displace a lot ofthe specialized species. So if you justlook at that particular place you might
12 ISEE Newsletter Summer 2015
see higher species numbers, but you'renot adding to global biodiversity in anysense, you're not creating new species.So that's part of the answer to that. Youhave to be a little more discriminating inhow you think about the differentcomponents of species. One wayconservation biologists might think of itis that you are creating alphadiversity inthat particular place, but you are notincreasing beta diversity across thewhole landscape.
Now the other issue has to do withwildness. You've probably been followingsome of the debate about theanthropocene epoch we're entering. Youknow the idea there is that we'reimpacting everything very strongly,wilderness is an illusion, even if you goup into the Boundary Waters, even yougo up to Isle Royale National Park.Wherever you go, you can find humaninfluence. So some people are sayingthat means we need to recognize ourresponsibilities, and realize that weimpact everything, and don't worry somuch about whether we are having animpact or not, but rather worry justabout whether the impact is good interms of what kind of impacts we want tohave on the landscape. So people likePeter Kareiva, Michelle Marvier, EmmaMarris—who talks about the"rambunctious garden"—the idea that,okay, it's not going to wild anymore butit can sort of be wildish, and our maindecision is, "What do we want on thelandscape?
I think this whole way of approachingthings is a big mistake. What we shouldbe saying is, "Look at how much we'reimpacting everything and isn't thatterrible?" because so many of ourimpacts are bad. When you look at whatpeople say they're going to be able tosee in the signature we leave, 100,000or 10 million years from now, forinstance, well, it will be a layer of plastic.That's not so good. There'll be evidenceof our nuclear tests, you know, that's not
necessarily so great either. They'll see ahuge drop in biodiversity. Again, nothingto be proud of.
So it's not just that we're influencingthings. We're influencing things for thebad, and then beyond all that, the sheerscale and ubiquity of our influence is bad.Our influence is everywhere, and that Ithink is itself a bad thing. It'soverbearing, it's too much.
Ferkany: So this is perhapsoversimplifying, but generally speakingyour view of this is that we need to behandsoff in some ways, and let wildnature do its thing, while still beingcompatible with management of varyingdegrees in other places. Is that fair tosay?
Cafaro: Yeah, that's fair to say, and I'deven go further and say that even in thewildest places, in the world we'vecreated, we might often have to manageto some degree. If we've created a worldwhere there were only, say, 200wolverines left, you might have to go in ifyou want to save that species, which isvery distinctive—the largest member ofthe weasel family, you know, we don'twant to lose that—you might have to goin and manage it somehow. I would havesupported, if I had had any say in it 30years ago, capturing the last fewCalifornia condors and intensivelybreading them and reestablishing them.So there are all sorts of individual caseswhere even a lover of wild nature willwant to go in and manage. But we don'twant to lose sight of the fact that thosecases come up because we've been sooverbearing. And what we want to startdoing is managing ourselves a littlebetter so that we can start stepping backa little more, and I think that's what theanthropocene proponents lose sight of.
Ferkany: So I want to move into somequestions about how we asenvironmental philosophers can bring ourideas to the broader public. Certainly you
13ISEE Newsletter Summer 2015
and I, as university educators, one mainway we can do it is just in our roles aseducators at our universities, which oftenadvertise themselves as having a bigcivic mission. Certainly at my institution,this is a big part of the rhetoric, and it'staken up in some ways in philosophy. SoI am wondering if you can say somethings about what's going on at ColoradoState. What sorts of goals does theprogram have? How is it functioning toserve those goals? Does it see itself ashaving that kind of mission?
Cafaro: Yeah, sure, so you and I are insimilar kinds of places I think. MichiganState University is a land grantuniversity, right?
Ferkany: Yeah, yes we are.
Cafaro: So are we. So we have thatmission to educate the general public.We certainly have the mission nowadaysto educate them for environmentalsustainability. And so I think we can dothat in a number of ways.
First off, one basic way is just getting asmany students as possible into our basicenvironmental ethics classes and havingthem think through the ethical issuesconnected to our relationships to the restof nature. What does sustainability reallymean? What about environmentaljustice? You know, these are reallyimportant issues, and environmentalphilosophers have done a lot of reallygood thinking about them. And we don'twant to lose sight of the fact that even ifsome topic has been covered quite wellby us and we've moved on to the nextthing, you know, it's helpful to get youngpeople thinking about these things. Notindoctrinating them, not saying "This isthe answer." But having them havegenuine conversations with each otherand with us about these difficult issues. Ijust think the more they think about thisstuff, the better off we're going to be.
Ferkany: So recruitment, reaching out as
far as you can to just get people intoyour seats, for one thing, so that theycan actually be exposed to these ideasthat we've been talking about for quite awhile, that's important.
Cafaro: Yeah, I think it's real important.I think it's also important for us to reachout to our colleagues in differentdepartments, different parts of theuniversity. Here at Colorado State wehave a pretty strong School of GlobalEnvironmental Sustainability. I'm a fellowwith them this year, and they do a prettygood job of getting people around theuniversity to talk to each other. So forme, when I'm working away on theethics of species extinction, it's justhugely helpful for me to be able talk to acolleague who is working on tigerconservation in India, or a colleaguewho's a historian who has been lookingat land use issues in the 19th and 20thCentury western United States. So it'svery helpful for us to reach out and bringour special expertise and then interact inan interdisciplinary way with otherscholars. I think that's really important.
Now a third thing that I thinkphilosophers really can do is engage asindividuals in the political process. Andthere I think we often don't appreciatehow much value we can bring to that.Politics, when you get down to it—andthis is whether you're writing an opedpiece, lobbying, attending or speaking ata rally—politics is often pretty confused,and the level of discourse is pretty low Ithink. Not always, but often. Andphilosophers are good thinkers, goodwriters, and we can improve the level ofdiscourse in politics.
Beyond that, those of us that care aboutenvironmental issues, because we havethese abilities, we can be a strong voicefor preserving nature, for dealing withclimate change, for addressingoverpopulation. I’m meeting next weekwith the Democratic and Republicanpolicy directors in the Colorado State
14 ISEE Newsletter Summer 2015
Senate to discuss environmental andpopulation issues in our state, a meetingthat grew out of one of them seeing arecent panel discussion I was part of. I’mgearing up to work with a team of CSUprofessors and students who will beanalyzing an environmental impactstatement due out later this summer ona new dam proposal. Environmentalphilosophers are citizens; we shouldengage in these sorts of efforts.
Often I think when we talk to oneanother, environmental philosophers seta very high bar for what constitutesproving a point, and that's good ofcourse; we want to be rigorous. But Ithink we forget sometimes that we havesomething of value to bring into thepolitical process, and I think we need todo a lot more of that. And that's trickybecause, you know, you need to separateyour position as an educator in auniversity from advocating for particularpolitical positions. But I certainly havedone that in my time: I advocate verystrongly for certain positions and that ispart of what I can bring.
Ferkany: So you mentioned a momentago that when you bring, say,undergraduate students into theclassroom, just getting them exposed tothe ideas even, and thinking about themhas a value. And you also said, I think,"Well the idea isn't to indoctrinate themto any particular view, but just to getthem thinking about the issues." So itsounds like that's a different mode fromwhat you do in your public life where youdo become more of an advocate. In theclassroom setting, there's a line betweenadvocacy and education that you have tosort of work around.
Cafaro: Yeah, people handle thatdifferently. Some say say, "Here's theargument on this side, here's theargument on that side," and refrain fromstating their own views. I do thatsometimes, for things I don't care about!
Ferkany: Haha!
Cafaro: But other things, where I dohave a strong position, my method isjust to say, "I think really strongly this,I'm on this side of this issue, here’s why.But here are a couple of articles, acouple of Ted talks, or whatever, wherepeople are arguing the opposite side.” Ishow them that intelligent people takedifferent positions, and they have tomake up their own minds about it.
So you have to work that out in theclassroom. But you know, we're alsocitizens, and we have an obligation toadvocate policies we believe in in thepublic realm.
