This article discusses the encounter between virtue ethics and environmental ethics and the ways in which environmental virtue ethics confronts nonhuman axiology and the controversial theme of moral anthropocentrism. It provides a reasoned review of the relevant literature and a historical–conceptual rendition of how environmental and virtue ethics came to converge as well as the ways in which they diverge. It explains that contrary to important worries voiced by some non-anthropocentric environmental ethicists, environmental virtue ethics enables and requires a rich and nuanced engagement with nonhuman values of all sorts—intrinsic as well as extrinsic, moral as well as nonmoral, anthropocentric as well as non-anthropocentric—and neither presupposes nor implies moral anthropocentrism in its normativity. Finally, the article considers the fortunes of, and some challenges for, environmental virtue ethics in its application to the ethics of climate change, an increasingly central topic in environmental ethics. This article proceeds as follows: the first section introduces virtue ethics; the second section looks at axiological and normative themes in environmental ethics; the third section discusses environmental virtue ethics; and the fourth section considers its application to climate change. The fifth section draws some conclusions.

美德、环境伦理、非人类价值观和人类中心主义

本文讨论了美德伦理学与环境伦理学之间的相遇，以及环境美德伦理学如何面对非人类价值论和道德人类中心主义这一有争议的主题。它对相关文献进行了理性的回顾，并对环境伦理学和美德伦理学如何趋同以及它们的分歧方式进行了历史概念演绎。它解释说，与一些非人类中心环境伦理学家所表达的重要担忧相反，环境美德伦理能够并要求对各种非人类价值观进行丰富而细致的参与——内在的和外在的、道德的和非道德的、人类中心的和非人类的。非人类中心主义——在其规范性中既不预设也不暗示道德人类中心主义。最后，本文考虑了环境美德伦理学在气候变化伦理学中应用的命运和一些挑战，气候变化伦理学是环境伦理学中日益重要的主题。本文内容如下：第一节介绍美德伦理学；第二部分着眼于环境伦理学的价值论和规范主题；第三节论述环境美德伦理；第四部分考虑其在气候变化方面的应用。第五部分得出一些结论。
