Abstract

In Environmental Virtue Ethics by Louke van Wensveen, the scientist puts forward an idea to link ecosystem sustainability with environmental virtues. Ecosystem sustainability is understood here as a criterion of genuine environmental virtue. On the one hand, such an idea presents an interesting theoretical postulate, since is connects morality with ecology. Thus, it can become a very powerful tool in stimulating environmental activities. On the other hand, the idea of linking environmental sustainability with aretology is a little bit problematic. Thus, the aim of the article is to analyse ecosystem sustainability as a criterion of environmental virtue.
