A video by John Broome, University of Oxford, on how ethics and philosophy impacts climate change policies. This video discusses the influence of philosophy on decision making and how it can specifically bring a paradigm shift in climate-related policy making.
Students will be introduced to philosophical concepts such as moral philosophy, value theory, decision theory, and intuition of neutrality. They will also learn how to use these theories in climate change decision making related to economic policies. Additionally, students will also learn how incorrect interpretation of certain philosophical thought leads to errors in value judgements.
Use this tool to help your students find answers to:
How does philosophy influence climate change decision making?
What is value theory? How can it be used to understand the value of climate related human deaths?
How does ‘intuition of neutrality’ lead to amoral policy making?
