e a ética é pessoal e, precisamente, o último bastião de autonomia e irredutibilidade do sujeito, qualquer que seja seu nicho social e cultural. 3 Baseada na novela homônima de Witi Ihimaera, publicada em 1987, o filme Encantadora de baleias (The Whales Rider), da diretora neozelandesa Niki Caro, ilustra magistralmente a possibilidade de uma cultura, nesse caso a dos Maoris, outorgar a uma mulher a posição de líder e herdeira da chefia do grupo, contrariando todos os princípios de…

survival of the philosophy of the commons. Maritime nations still respond automatically to the shibboleth of the “freedom of the seas.” Professing to believe in the “inexhaustible resources of the oceans,” they bring species after species of fish and whales closer to extinction (9). The National Parks present another instance of the working out of the tragedy of the commons. At present, they are open to all, without limit. The parks themselves are limited in extent—there is only one…

assim mesmo. Que se busque, mas tal não é um processo apenas individual (imperioso ser coletivo, ser entendido como demanda comunitária, isto é, política pública), outra fonte de subsistência. Como aponta Arne Naess, não existe vital need to kill whales.27 Em raciocínio idêntico, quando a escravidão humana foi abolida houve um impacto no mercado e pessoas que viviam desta prática se viram prejudicadas. Porém, este prejuízo não foi suficiente para justificar ou manter a escravidão. Por…

I wrote about in my last letter to you, came with me and we had a great time. We flew into Vancouver on Monday 24th, (4) was also my birthday.

Mr Amorim's answer is that, in a world likely to be dominated by blocks, Brazil's best option is to co-operate as much as possible with its neighbours and other developing countries. Whales, he notes, "are gregarious animals." (Adapted from The Economist, June 11, 2004) Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the country's left-leaning president, is carving out a role for Brazil as spokesman for poor countries, most notably by…
