Discussion:
Aristotle suggested that all natural objects could be distinguished in terms of a natural and characteristic activity. Can we apply this approach to an ecosystem? Do different elements of an ecosystem perform different functions within that system? Could you reason from such ecological facts to normative conclusions about what should be? Why or why not?
Can you provide references.
