title: Logic, ethics and the ethics of logic

authors: Legg, Catherine

subjects: Language Arts & Disciplines

abstract: Peirce wrote this in 1902 as part of his “Minute Logic”, a major book project from his later, officially unemployed, years. The editors of EPII note that the book was so named “to reflect the minute thoroughness with which [Peirce] planned to examine every relevant problem” (xiv), and that within a year it ran to hundreds of pages. This vast project gave Peirce the opportunity to think in intricate detail about the architectonic structure of his thought. This groundwork bore much fruit: notably in Peirce’s 1902 grant application to the Carnegie Institution, still one of the best guides to the way Peirce’s mature thought would have unfolded had he been given access to resources commensurate with his abilities, and the 1903 Harvard lectures on pragmatism where (despite struggles with James over scope and purpose) he managed to distil into seven evening lectures a new philosophical system of brilliance and power, with many outlines previously unknown in the history of philosophy.

title: Sustainability and Indigeneity

authors: Daya-Winterbottom, Trevor

abstract: In the lead up to the Rio Conference on Environment and Development 1992, New Zealand enshrined the concept of the sustainable management of natural and physical resources in statute law by enacting the Resource Management Act 1991. Implementing the concept of sustainable management in domestic law gave rise to a tension between anthropocentric and ecological approaches for implementing the statute that were not resolved by the Courts until 2014. However, the adoption of an ecological approach to implementing the statute did not assuage the desire for statutory reform unlocked by the previous debate. Most recently, the reform trajectory has resulted in Parliamentary scrutiny of an exposure draft Bill that replaces the concept of sustainable management with a new concept of the welfare and wellbeing of the environment rooted firmly in indigenous perspectives on earth governance, guardianship, and intergenerational equity. My paper will critically interrogate the implications of adopting the concept of the welfare and wellbeing of the environment for the future of sustainability, and what implications this approach could have for environmental law generally in the Anthropocene both comparatively and internationally.
