Dr. Kelly Oliver, "Earth Ethics" Thursday, Feb 4 @ 2pm, FAU Theatre Lab (Located on the first floor of Parliament Hall on Boca Raton campus)

The first images of Earth taken by the Apollo missions met with contradictory responses that are telling in relation to problems of globalism and the environmental movement today. In Earth Ethics, Oliver shows how the “autoimmune” response to seeing Earth from space signals the need to rethink our bond to the Earth, our status as earthlings, and our relationships with our co-inhabitants, in a new Earth Ethics.

Kelly Oliver is W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University. She is the author of over 100 articles, thirteen books, and ten edited volumes.

Co-Sponsors: the Ringelheim Fund for Ethics, the Department of Philosophy, the PhD Program in Comparative Studies, The Peace, Justice, and Human Rights Initiative, and the FAU Philosophy Club.
