Changing Earth Systems
In the previous learning pathway (rock records) we saw how the geosphere has changed over time with continents moving around on plates. Other Earth systems have also changed over geological time. In this Learning Pathway we will look at the changes in atmosphere and hydrosphere over time and the interaction between the geosphere and these other Earth systems.
Philosophical Themes
The video below introduces some of the ethical themes relevant to the balance of science and philosophy, including the following:
- Distinguishing pragmatic shoulds/oughts from ethical shoulds/oughts;
- Understanding ethical shoulds/oughts and ethical standing in relation to interests, rights, and intrinsic value;
- Considering the question: what entities or states of affairs might have ethical standing as a consequence of having interests, rights and intrinsic value?
