For an Environmental Ethics: Nature and Environmental Responsibility
Monday 13 December 2010
at 19h30 |
Grand amphithéâtre de l'Université Lumière Lyon 2
Avec :
Hicham-Stéphane Afeissa | Akeel Bilgrami | Éloi Laurent | Alain Lipietz
Event hosted by Catherine Halpern, a journalist for the magazine Sciences Humaines, and a contributor to Libération and Télérama
«When and how did the concept of "nature" get transformed in the concept of "natural resources"? is the mobilizing question of the lecture. A genealogical account tracing the transformation to developments in the close relations and alliances between metaphysical, religious, political and economic changes in the late seventeenth century in Europe is provided. This genealogical account is then broadened and it is argued that the same developments were responsible for much wider changes in concepts: the transformation of the concept of "human beings" into the concept of "citizens" by the thought experiment of the social contract, the transformation of the concept of "people" into "populations", and the concept of "knowledges" to live by into the vanguardist concept of "expertise" to rule by. »Akeel Bilgrami
Akeel Bilgrami director of the Heyman Center for the Humanities, is a central figure in contemporary philosophy of mind and language. His works Belief and Meaning (Blackwell, 1992) and Self-Knowledge and Resentment, have been successful thanks to his original reflection, which spans a large philosophical field.

Alain Lipietz is an economist who joined the French Green political party in 1988. He was a member of the European parliament from 1999 to 2009 and a member of the French Commission for Sustainable Development from 2000 to 2003. In Face à la crise: l’urgence écologiste (confronted to crisis: the emergency of being environmentalist), a collection of interviews with Bertrand Richard, he elaborates a "Green New Deal", or the reorganization of society according to the norms of sustainable development.

Hicham-Stéphane Afeissa is a philosopher and the author of a personal essay on the topic of Anglo-American environmental ethics, La Communauté des êtres de nature (the community of beings of nature), in which he offers an original approach differing from the more conventional approach to environmental issues in France.
> La Communauté des êtres de nature (Musica Falsa, 2010)
Éloi Laurent is an economist and teaches at Sciences-Po, Stanford University, and the Collège des hautes études européennes. In La Nouvelle Ecologie politique (the new political ecology), he gives a fresh, optimistic view on the future of our planet; namely, that human development should not endanger natural resources provided citizens raise the level of their democratic expectancies.
> La Nouvelle Écologie politique, avec Jean-Paul Fitoussi (Seuil, 2008)
> Social-écologie. Pourquoi nos inégalités sont insoutenables (Flammarion, à paraître en mars 2011)
RCF est partenaire des cinq rencontres franco-américaines en sciences humaines que met en place la Villa Gillet en 2010-2011, et propose deux émissions en lien avec chacune de ces tables rondes.
À l'occasion de la rencontre « Pour une éthique environnementale : nature et citoyenneté écologique » du 13 décembre 2010, l'émission « Question d'actu » du 9 décembre, produite par Jean-Christophe Galeazzi, accueillera un débat sur ce thème.
