François Ost, « Expanding the political community through rights or through responsibilities? », Ecologie & politique, ID : 10670/1.cf547b...
It is neither legally appropriate nor philosophically justified to personify nature and to award it rights. In contrast, what is urgent is to establish responsibilities with regard to the “milieu” as the dialectical result of interaction between man and his environment. We thus adopt an indirect strategy: by extending the political community to future generations, this induces us to protect the milieu.
