PHI 360 - HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF ECOLOGY

College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This course begins with the writings of proto-ecologists prior to Darwin to trace the development of the self-consciously scientific discipline of ecology as it understands itself, today. Philosophical problems include what sorts of entities and/or processes are studied by ecologists, the epistemology of ecological research, reductionism versus holism, the meaning of ecological equilibrium, stability, integrity, resilience, and the critical ecologies of black, indigenous, and feminist ecologists.

Approved for Distance Learning.
