| Description |
In contemporary philosophy, concern for sustainability of the world, especially in industry, has attracted engaging ethical debate. This owes to the conventional perception of the consciousness as a universal, objective or absolute requirement of justice, where living people are to preserve life’s vital resources for posterity on the basis of moral deontology or consequentialism. Because the posterity concerned consists more of remote future people and their world than immediate descendants, their present non-existence often constitutes a fundamental problem in rendering the argument and obligation plausible. There is the factual non-connection of posterity and their present obligers due to time-gap. Hence, treating the responsibility as an objective norm stands to be insufficient in motivating the conduct. Individuals are not accorded sufficient personal or subjective inspiration to urge the responsibility. Consequently, various forms of practices that cannot sustain industrial survival inundate contemporary world. The situation worsens when industries are eventually led to liquidate. This essay is stimulated by a concern for this problem. It aims at adapting some aspects of Martin Heidegger’s theory of Being to articulate a more elemental and subjective theory of moral motivation for industrial sustainable development.
