OPSCHOOR, J. (Hans) B.. Caring for Future Generations and Biodiversity: Earth Ethics and Some Implications for Structurig the Global Public Domain. Ex aequo [online]. 2010, n.21, pp.53-75. ISSN 0874-5560.

In this paper Hans Opschoor considers how society can extend the concern over the common good to include not only future generations of humans, but also other parts of Earth’s biodiversity. He explores some moral philosophy and/or ethics based approaches to this, in a context of rights and responsibilities or duties that humans have (or could consider having!), and see how that should influence the way societies today shape their public spaces.

Palabras clave : biodiversity; care; global ethics; rights; responsibility.
