Abstract
In the
framework of the globalization of tourism this chapter discuss the concepts of
modern Ethics and Moral, on a critical perspective to the dominant standpoint
that set the morale in the order of the rules and social conventions and leave
the ethics on the field of personal experience. Critical essay postulates three
fundamental theses: 1. The environmental philosophy builds a new ontology
created by the critique of anthropocentrism. 2. But, only their articulation
with a new epistemology, founded in the critique of ethnocentrism, could lead
to a new ethics universal theory. 3. However, the applied ethics of
environmental philosophy needs a new global political ethics shaped on the
critique against political alienation. Consequently Global Code of Ethics for
Tourism must be refunded on the light of Environmental Philosophy and takes an imperative
character.
