Interestingly, analogous discussions are takingplace in humanities disciplines, such as philosophy, where applied philosophy is in some circlesconsidered essential for making the discipline more relevant. Historically, arguments aboutenvironmental ethics within philosophy have narrowly focused on how best to think about“nature” in order to protect it: should it be viewed as a set of resources to be utilized for human-centered ends or does nature have some “intrinsic value” apart from how it can be utilized byhumans. But the increasingly shrill, narrow and pedantic tone of these arguments has only servedto alienate philosophers from those actually working in the field

The chemistry behind this reaction will be revealed – and practiced – in this course. This mysterious dye has an intriguing history, and we will study its societal and environmental impact from antiquity to the present. We will explore the use of indigo by different cultures, and each student will have the opportunity to replicate one of the techniques used to dye fabric with indigo. We will learn about the equipment used in producing indigo dye, and the three sources of indigo
