Abstract

Enerji; günümüz endüstriyel, ekonomik, politik ve kültürel ilişkilerinin en önemli konularından biridir. Enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı ve bunların transferleri, hem kamu hem de özel sektörün büyüme stratejilerinin gelişmesiyle sıkı sıkıya bağlıdır. Ancak, yaşadığımız evrenle ve içindekilerle yakın ilişkilerimizi şekillendiren etik arka plan, sektör pratiklerinde yeterince göz önünde bulundurulmamaktadır. Mevcut literatür, enerji meselelerinin etik arka planlarının nasıl değerlendirilmesi gerektiğine ve dahası, enerji kararlarının etik sorunlar ortaya çıkardığı karar alma süreçlerini yeterince ele almamaktadır. Bu sebeple, bu araştırma; etik karar alma süreçlerinin, metodolojik bir izlek takip edilerek, deontolojik ve faydacı etik kuramlar ile bunların enerji alanındaki uygulamalarını analiz etmeye ve anlamaya çalışmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, ekolojik bir sürdürülebilirlik tartışmasının ötesinde, insanın sosyal/politik varlığına ve enerji alanındaki karar alma süreçlerinin deontolojik ve faydacı etik kapsamında ne şekilde ele alınabileceğine odaklanılmıştır. Kararların adaleti, kamuya nasıl iletildiğine odaklanılarak belirlenir.

Energy ethics: a decision making perspective

Abstract

Energy is one of the critical issues of contemporary industrial, economic, political, and cultural affairs. The use of energy resources and their transfers is strictly shaped by developing the growth strategies of both the public and private sectors. However, the ethical background, which shapes our intimate relations with this universe and its things, is not adequately considered. Most literature on energy research addresses neither how the moral grounds of energy decisions work nor the energy decision-making processes giving rise to ethical problems. For this reason, this research aims to analyze and understand the relationship between deontological and utilitarian theories of ethics and their applications in the decision-making processes of the energy field in a methodological way in which a developed method of ethical decision-making process correspondences to the debatable issues of the energy field. Our focus is beyond ecological sustainability, concentrating on human beings’ social/political existence and the effects of decisions with respect to deontological and utilitarian ethics in energy debates. The fairness of decisions is ascertained through a careful focus on how they are publicly communicated.
