Eco-Feminism and Deep Ecology

Environmental Science Theory - Concepts and Methods in a One-World, Problem-Oriented Paradigm

“…The weakness of this rule may be demonstrated by the response to children. On the one hand, we have, for instance, Cheney (1987), Jonas (1979) and Norton (1991), who take children as a prime example of 'things' we treat in the 'ethics of care' (C) domain; this is supported by the empirical finding of Jack and Jack (1989) "* Douglas is here focusing on the question of how to explain the creation of collective goods. Hence the positive framing of what she sweeps away.…”

“…Elster (1989), for instance, asserts the reality and autonomy of reasoning in a 'social norms' domain, as opposed to reasoning in a 'rational choice' mode. Analogously, Goodin (1982) distinguishes 'moral domains'; Jack and Jack (1989) speak of 'moral visions'; Cheney (1987) of different 'ethics'. Homo economicus, accompanied by its collective-level 'ethics of rights and obligations' 25 *, will certainly be one of these modes or domains, because it is an obviously consistent mode of reasoning that plays a role in many of our decisions.…”

“…the contextual procedure) tend to go hand in hand with matters of content. In Cheney (1987) and Jack and Jack (1989), for instance, the 'ethics of rights and obligations' is contrasted to the "ethics of care". These, as Groot (1992b, Chapter 8) and summarized in Section 4.6, are different throughout, from the first moment of conceptualizing the world and the self, then to the conceptualization of what are moral problems and their causes, and finally to the procedures to solve them.…”

“…In my opinion, it is important for environmental scientists to know how to walk both roads, and find creative ways in between. Cheney (1987) analyzes the moral situation existing when we eat food (say, a carrot) grown in our garden. There is a problem here, we could say.…”

The different voices of helping: Gender differences in recounting dilemmas

“…Her ideas has been used to elucidate many eclectic phenomena, including jurisprudence (Daly, 1989;Dahlem, 1991), clinical therapy (West and Bursor, 1984;Hostelling and Forrest, 1985), social work (Davis, 1985;Rhodes, 1985), artificial intelligence (Jansen, 1988), ecology (Cheney, 1987), and the vocational experiences of female engineers (Carter and Kirkup, 1990) and clergy (Stevens, 1989). …”
