David Pearce Bücher
1. Januar 1941 – 1. Januar 2005
David Pearce ist ein britischer unabhängiger Philosoph, der sich der ethischen Abschaffung von Leid widmet. Er argumentiert für ein starkes moralisches Gebot, alle Formen unangenehmer Erfahrungen bei allen empfindungsfähigen Lebewesen zu beseitigen. Seine Arbeit skizziert, wie technologische Fortschritte zur Ersetzung von Leid durch Wohlbefindensgrade führen könnten, ein Konzept, das er als „Paradies-Engineering“ bezeichnet. Als Transhumanist und Veganer betont Pearce unsere Verantwortung, nicht nur Grausamkeit zu vermeiden, sondern auch das globale Ökosystem neu zu gestalten, um Leid in freier Wildbahn zu verhindern.
This report has been prepared by the London Environmental Economics Centre (LEEC). LEEC is a joint venture, established in 1988, by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and the department of Economics of University College London (UCL). Popularly known as The Pearce Report, this book is a report prepared for the Department of the Environment. It demonstrates the ways in which elements in our environment at present under threat from many forms of pollution can be costed. The book goes on to show ways in which governments are able, as a consequence of this analysis, to construct systems of taxation which would both reduce pollution by making it too costly and generate revenue for cleaning up much of the damage. The book ends with a series of skeleton programmes for progress.
