Associate Professor, Ethics of Sustainability
Personal website: https://jjwwieland.nl/
Joined the VU in 2013, with a research project on strategic ignorance - e.g. whether consumers can be held responsible for strategically ignorant wrongdoing (such as meat consumption).
With my colleague Phil Robichaud and 2 PhD students Tessa and Dominik, I’m thinking about responsibilities for collective (e.g. climate) harms (some info here).
I tend to have Kantian intuitions, according to which we should adopt more sustainable lifestyles since not doing so is not universalizable (a short story that illustrates this view).
Recently, I’ve started to move from individual responsibility to corporate responsibility. Should corporations spend part of their profit on protecting the environment?
