AN APPRAISAL OF THE ECO-BIO-COMMUNITARIANISM OF GODFREY TANGWA

Abstract

Abstract One of the major problems confronting the human society is the issue of the treatment of other nonhuman entities and the ecosystem. Most times, humans tend to exercise unnecessary dominion over every other being in the universe and hence causing harm to them. However, the major question at stake is the question of whether these nonhuman entities and the environment deserve some form of moral consideration from man. Is intelligence a valid criterion for the human entity to suppress the nonhuman entities? Is the human entity the only privileged entity in ethical considerations? What is really the difference which deciphers the human from the nonhuman? Are the nonhuman entities only at the mercy of consumption? All of these questions and more are the concern of the study and it employs the reconciling environmental ideology of Godfrey Tangwa as a blueprint. However, to do this, the study employs the analytic method of research which shall help to expose the ideology of Godfrey Tangwa and at the same time explore some contents in the ideology which reconcile the moral status of humans, nonhuman animals and the environment. At the end of the discourse, the study explores some points of appraisal which can be deduced from the ideology of Godfrey Tangwa hence showing its strengths and weaknesses.
