Abstract
Environmental Ethics is a type of applied ethic whose objec- tive is to guide, using principles and rules, the analysis, the deliberation,
and the resolution of conflicts that are environmental and social at the
same time. Within the different theoretical approaches of Environmental
Ethics, there is a tension between normative ethical level and the meth- odological level that prevents integration between the two of them. The
problem of Environmental Ethics to reconcile these two orders is the
issue addressed in this paper. Our proposal regarding this subject is to
approach it from a theoretical strategy of mid-level principles and this is
why it does not aim at suggesting a theoretical foundation of ethics, but
a referential framework that makes a pluralistic outline of principles
compatible with a well-defined methodology of rules and meta-rules, thus
contributing to a more practical Environmental Ethics.
