Strengthening the foundations of energy justice scholarship: What can philosophy contribute
The tenet-based approach to energy justice has seen substantial uptake over the past decade. Despite referring to philosophical terminology, energy justice scholars rarely engage rigorously with philosophical methods or ongoing debates. We argue this absence is challenging for two implicit goals that often arise in applications of the approach: to describe and capture ethical-issues surrounding energy systems and to normatively evaluate choices, …
Max Power: Implementing the Capabilities Approach to Identify Thresholds and Ceilings in Energy Justice
In this paper, we apply the capabilities approach—with the addition of capability ceilings—to energy justice. We argue that, to ensure energy justice, energy policies and scenarios should consider enabling not only minimal capability thresholds but also maximum capability ceilings. It is permissible, perhaps even morally required, to limit the capabilities of those above the threshold if it is necessary for enabling those below the threshold to r…
Should we Ascribe Capabilities to Species and Ecosystems? A Critical Analysis of Ecocentric Versions of the Capabilities Approach
Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities approach is today one of the most influential theories of justice. In her earlier works on the capabilities approach, Nussbaum only applies it to humans, but in later works she extends the capabilities approach to include sentient animals. Contrary to Nussbaum’s own view, some scholars, for example, David Schlosberg, Teea Kortetmäki and Daniel L. Crescenzo, want to extend the capabilities approach even further to in…

It shows the environmental justice as more than an analytical concept integrating social and environmental factors. The chapter introduces the range of discourses on environmental justice in Western Europe through an overview that focuses on the forms of concern and normativity that have …
Travelling as pilgrimage: Ecotheological contributions to mobility ethics
Since the 1960s, it has become increasingly apparent that the mobility of modern societies has serious environmental eff ects. Recently, for instance, car traffi c has been recognized as one of the main contributors to global warming. Th e planning of mobility gives rise to diffi cult moral problems concerning the relationship between today’s individuals and groups, current and future generations and humans and other life forms.1 To date, rather …
Environmental Philosophy in Christianity and Buddhism: Meeting Places for a Dialogue
Questions concerning the human–nature relationship have received attention both within contemporary Christianity and Buddhism. Since the twentieth century an interesting and fruitful dialogue has been going on between the two religions. This article describes and discusses possible themes for a Buddhist–Christian dialogue on issues of environmental philosophy. The theoretical starting-point is the belief that Christianity and Buddhism are not sta…
