A Problem for Environmental Pragmatism: Value Pluralism and the Sustainability Principle.
In this article, I suggest that the recently emerged perspective of environmental pragmatism encompasses self-contradicting principles.

Norton deliberation environmental ethics environmental pragmatism epistemology sustainability ab: In this article, I suggest that the recently emerged perspective of environmental pragmatism encompasses self-contradicting principles. For many years, it was deemed impossible for environmental ethics to formulate justified environmental policy. Environmental pragmatism, and its primary scholar Bryan G. Norton, has promoted a new outlook in that debate by proposing an ideal methodology based upon classic American pragmatism. In this methodology, a community can determine what is morally righteous by (i) conducting open-ended inquiry and (ii) considering all relevant stakeholders in a rational discourse. Environmental pragmatism must therefore accommodate reasonable value pluralism. Moreover, Norton claims that these criteria should be complemented with what I call the 'sustainability criterion'. However, this principle of righteous decision- making appears inconsistent with the two aforementioned commitments. This article considers why this is the case. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Contemporary Pragmatism is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
