New book on geoethics just printed!


We are proud to inform that a
 new great book on geoethics (20 chapters, 34 authors) has been just printed:

Di Capua G., Bobrowsky P.T., Kieffer S.W. and Palinkas C. (2021). Geoethics: Status and Future Perspectives. Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 508, https://doi.org/10.1144/SP508.

This is the second volume focused on geoethics published by the Geological Society of London. This is a significant step forward in which authors address the maturation of geoethics. The field of geoethics is now ready to be introduced outside the geoscience community as a logical platform for global ethics that addresses anthropogenic changes. Geoethics has a distinction in the geoscientific community for discussing ethical, social and cultural implications of geoscience knowledge, research, practice, education and communication. This provides a common ground for confronting ideas, experiences and proposals on how geosciences can supply additional service to society in order to improve the way humans interact responsibly with the Earth system. This book provides new messages to geoscientists, social scientists, intellectuals, law- and decision-makers, and laypeople. Motivations and actions for facing global anthropogenic changes and their intense impacts on the planet need to be governed by an ethical framework capable of merging a solid conceptual structure with pragmatic approaches based on geoscientific knowledge. This philosophy defines geoethics.

This book is dedicated to Jan Boon.

Geoetica: dalle geoscienze a un’etica globale, per un umanesimo ecologico


Segnaliamo un articolo e 
una video intervista a Silvia Peppoloni e Giuseppe Di Capua sulla geoetica, a cura di Sofia Belardinelli, per il canale IlBoLive dell'Università di Padova:
 
Si parla di responsabilità, di antropocentrismo, biocentrismo ed ecocentrismo nella visione della geoetica, di umanesimo ecologico, ovvero di alcuni dei temi che Silvia e Giuseppe trattano nel libro "Geoetica - Manifesto per un'etica della responsabilità verso la Terra", pubblicato da Donzelli editore.
