The lecture covers the ethical dimension of human-environment relations. Discussions in the field of environmental ethics date back to the 1970s, when the issue of ecological crisis became a subject of interest for scientists from various disciplines, including ethicists. As part of the course, students will learn about selected concepts in the discipline, basic issues related to animal ethics, environmental axiology, and environmental virtue ethics.
The aim of the course is to show students that the ecological crisis has various dimensions, one of which is the moral aspect of human activity that affects the natural environment. The course is part of the strategic goal of education in the field of environmental protection in an interdisciplinary manner, including ethical attitudes and philosophical reflection.

Absences are not taken into account in the final grade, but each absence from class reduces the chances of receiving a point for activity.
