Environmental Virtue Ethics and Sustainability

In Environmental Virtue Ethics by Louke van Wensveen, the scientist puts forward an idea to link ecosystem sustainability with environmental virtues. Ecosystem sustainability is understood here as a criterion of genuine environmental virtue. On the one hand, such an idea presents an interesting theoretical postulate, since is connects morality with ecology. Thus, it can become a very powerful tool in stimulating environmental activities. On the other hand, the idea of linking environmental sustainability with aretology is a little bit problematic. Thus, the aim of the article is to analyse ecosystem sustainability as a criterion of environmental virtue.
