Sustainable development: the history of an idea
https://doi.org/10.32324/2412-8945-2023-3-74-84
Abstract
The article offers an assessment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals based on various philosophical concepts such as Plato's theory of the state, I. Kant's concept of virtues, Hugo Grotius' theory of natural rights, and charters of the first human rights organizations IAPL, NAACP and others. It is hypothesized that modern Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are equivalent to the ideas of progress and well-being inherent in humanity since antiquity. The article actually proves this hypothesis.
