-Analogical Extension and Analogical Implication in Environmental Moral Philosophy
Two commonly found claims in environmental moral philosophy are that nature is worthy of respect and that we respect ourselves in respecting nature. In this paper, I articulate two forms of reasoning that help make sense of these claims. The first is analogical extension , which understands the respect due human life as the source of a like respect for nature. The second is analogical implication , which involves nature in human life to show us what we are like. These forms of reasoning are relevant to environmental virtue ethics in that both allow us to conceptualize how respect for nature can be part of our sense of humanity, and not opposed to our sense of humanity.
