    Environment and Philosophy: The Aesthetics and the Natural Environment
    (Scientific Research, 2018-06) Tsekos, Christos A.; Petsiou, Thaleia
    In this study, after initially identifying the field of Aesthetics and the concept of Aesthetically Remarkable (Beautiful), we are going to analyze the aesthetic categories, which constitute a basic element of Aesthetics, taking into consideration that these aesthetic categories are of primary importance regarding the evaluation of the so-called Aesthetically Remarkable. Subsequently, after the interpretation of the term “Environment”, we are going to elaborate on a significant change in contemporary Aesthetics that is related to the Aesthetics of the natural environment (not only of Art as before), the similarities and differences of the Beautiful in Art and the Nature and the role of Environmental Policy in protecting the beauty of our natural habitat.

    Two Important Issues in Environmental Ethics: Cloning and Genetic Engineering
    (Scientific Research, 2017-09) Tsekos, Christos A.; Bissa, Marianna N.
    This paper aims to investigate the moral dilemmas that arise in two contemporary issues, those of Cloning and Genetic Engineering. Firstly, we examine some purely technical aspects of these two issues. Secondly, we attempt an analysis of the moral and social dimensions of Cloning and Genetic Engineering. We argue that total rejection of Cloning and Genetic Engineering is neither sound nor documented, and we conclude that there are significant benefits from these two technologies. Additionally, we propose a set of actions that will help modern societies to cope effectively with these challenges.
