From Environmental Ethics to Social Contracts: Unraveling the Philosophical Intersections of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Environmental Pollution
Abstract
One can critically evaluate the effects of the pandemic and environmental pollution on our daily lives and the community at large by looking at various perspectives on philosophy, such as ethical practices and social contract theory. The paper highlights the significance of adopting environment- friendly practices and making moral decisions to effectively handle these issues. Woven throughout the entire discussion is the emphasis on making responsible choices and adopting environmentally friendly practices to combat both the COVID-19 epidemic and pollution. In the field of environmental ethics, the study examines the connections between moral obligations and contemporary environmental problems. Further, the paper investigates various schools of thought which include ecofeminism, which looks at the connections between the exploitation of women and the destruction of nature, and deep ecology, which acknowledges the intrinsic value of every living thing and the environment. This paper analyses the connection between the COVID-19 pandemic and environmental pollution from a philosophical angle. It attempts to provide readers with a broader comprehension of the moral, social, and environmental ramifications of these universal issues.
