TY - GEN A1 - Reuter, Katrin T1 - Die Verbindung von Biodiversität und gutem menschlichen Leben T2 - Biodiversität- und -Klima-Forschungszentrum: BiK-F knowledge flow papers, Nr. 17 N2 - Since few decades there is a broad debate about the so called ecological crisis. The debate had its highlight at the Rio-Conference in 1992. This conference was also the starting point for a wide range of political efforts concerned with a broad spectrum of biodiversity issues. Insofar, the term ‘biodiversity’ is not one of the natural sciences, but one which is inherently connected with questions of good human life. This article argues that the question for the good life predominantly fulfills a heuristic function and is to be answered in light of certain societal relations to nature. Furthermore, in light of these societal relations to nature it is argued for a virtue ethical approach with respect to the individual good life, whereas concerning the scale of societal aspects transdisciplinarity is identified as the appropriate research mode, which addresses both societal and scientific issues.
