260017 Environmental Conflicts (GradS) (SoSe 2026)

Contents, comment

Environmental Conflicts is a philosophy of science course that examines how conflicts shape our understanding of the environment and our place within it. Focusing on disputes over scarce resources—often intensified by climate change—the course explores human impacts on ecological systems alongside key ideas from classical and urban ecology. Organized around three broad types of conflict—animal versus animal, animal versus human, and human versus human—the course analyzes how scientific knowledge, values, and power interact in environmental decision-making.
