Environmental Stewardship, Moral Psychology and Gardens
2013
Vast and pervasive environmental problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss call every individual to active stewardship. Their magnitude and causal and strategic structures, however, pose powerful challenges to our moral psychology. Stewardship may feel overburdening, and appear hopeless. This may lead to widespread moral and political disengagement. This article proposes a resolve to garden practices as a way out of that danger, and describes the ways in which it will motivate individuals to so act as to coordinate on behavioural patterns that will significantly alleviate grave, but seemingly distant and intractable environmental quandaries.
Amaya, A., Michelon, C. (eds.) (2020), The faces of virtue in law. Routledge
2022
The book, edited by Amalia Amaya and Claudio Michelon, brings together the most significant voices of the Aretaic theory to operate an interesting reconstruction of new topics in the field of philosophy of law which are typically overlooked by traditional legal theory. This approach allows the exploration of new interpretative lines that may suggest further developments for the theory of virtue. Reading this book could therefore be a valid and interesting tool for all those who study the legal decision-making process from a philosophical perspective, but also for all jurists who deal, in a broader sense, with the legal practice.
