Subject(s): Ethics / Practical Philosophy

Keywords: environmental virtue ethics; normativity; Ronald Sandler

Summary/Abstract: The aim of my article is to prove that environmental virtue ethics (EVE) can be a normative ethics. First I will present the arguments that virtue ethics can be a normative ethics (§1). Second I will demonstrate that the norms of virtue ethics are different than the norms of a utilitarian or deontological ethics (§ 2). Third I will propose the general maxim and premises stating what is the right action according to Ronald Sandler’s EVE (§ 3).
