David Pearce est un philosophe indépendant britannique dédié à l'abolition éthique de la souffrance. Il soutient qu'il existe un impératif moral fort pour éliminer toutes les formes d'expérience désagréable dans la vie sensible. Son œuvre décrit comment les avancées technologiques pourraient converger pour remplacer la souffrance par des gradients de bien-être, un concept qu'il nomme « l'ingénierie du paradis ». Transhumaniste et végétalien, Pearce souligne notre responsabilité non seulement d'éviter la cruauté, mais aussi de repenser l'écosystème mondial pour prévenir la souffrance dans la nature.
This report has been prepared by the London Environmental Economics Centre (LEEC). LEEC is a joint venture, established in 1988, by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and the department of Economics of University College London (UCL). Popularly known as The Pearce Report, this book is a report prepared for the Department of the Environment. It demonstrates the ways in which elements in our environment at present under threat from many forms of pollution can be costed. The book goes on to show ways in which governments are able, as a consequence of this analysis, to construct systems of taxation which would both reduce pollution by making it too costly and generate revenue for cleaning up much of the damage. The book ends with a series of skeleton programmes for progress.
