Are We Stewards of the Earth? (Forum for European Philosophy dialogue)

Are humans exceptional amongst living beings? How should they understand their relationship with, and responsibilities towards, the natural world?

Current ecological crises have led to new conceptions of this relationship, increased focus on human responsibilities, and changing
environmental practices. In this panel, two speakers will address both the theoretical questions raised by these issues and assess some of the practical responses which have been advanced.
