responsibility, animals, environment, nature, EthicsAbstract
This article aims to revise the concept of moral responsibility to animals and the environment. For this purpose, some necessary revisions to the concept of moral responsibility are taken up again, such as the possibility to understand a partial concept of responsibility and the necessity to be able to make individuals and collectives morally responsible. These concepts are accounted for in a differential analysis between the moral responsibility to animals and to nature.
