Documentary abstract — original language

Chapter one introduces the topic and outlines chapters two, three, four and five. \nChapter two discusses environmental ethics in the light of the three notions of the \nenvironment, namely, instrumental value, intrinsic value and the inherent worth. This \nchapter also discusses philosophical theories of ethics, viz. a consequence-based theory, \nwhich is, Utilitarianism, principle-based theories and a philosophical principle of \nstewardship. Chapter three discusses the trajectory of sustainable development with respect to selected \ninternational events. This chapter also shows how the paradigm of sustainable \ndevelopment has peen embraced in nation states, with a special reference to South Africa. \nChapter four critically analyses South Africa's environmental law and its macroeconomic \npolicy, GEAR, in the light of environmental ethics. \nChapter five synthesises discussions raised in the preceding chapters and offers some insights as to how policy-making pertaining to environment and development can be \nimproved by incorporating a holistic approach of environmental ethics. \nChapter six summarises discussions that emerged in chapters one, two, three, four and \nfive.
