Beneficial relations between species & the moral responsibility of wondering

Some concepts within the development theory known as the ‘capabilities approach’ can articulate multi-species justice. To do so, they should begin with ‘biocentric wonder’ and its correlate, the ‘biocentric freedom’ of the multiple forms of life on Earth. These lead to relational freedom supporting eco-centric considerations of a sort. In such freedom, ‘multi-species fields’ are useful for articulating multi-species justice when the relational freedom within them indicates beneficial relations between species. At the same time, wondering over the life forms left out of the field becomes a moral responsibility. There are limits to coming to multi-species justice in this way. Here, I (1) provide concepts for a ‘green’ capability approach and (2) enable the capability approach to make some sense of lands, waters, and skies as moral communities as many Indigenous societies do. In this way, the development philosophy avoids some hermeneutical injustice toward some Indigenous cultures.
