A philosophical approach towards ethical issues in environment

Abstract

Human being always considered the environment as a mother, and since ancient times, they have worshipped nature. While referencing the old civilizations like Harappa, the Nile, and others, most of the gods and goddesses are found in nature. Philosophy begins with lifestyle, rituals, and human behaviour towards the environment. The environment is always affected by human activities. With the development of science, human activities have become unrestricted and caused damage to the natural surroundings. Common people have used the environment indiscriminately, and the unlimited natural asset hunt turns into a disaster. It also invited natural calamities as nature lost her balance. In recent times, researchers and scientists have become cautious and taken precautions to protect the natural environment. It is needless to say that human ethics and values are being used to educate and make people aware of ethical values. This research paper reveals the relevant facts on ethical issues in the environment in the light of philosophy.
