The Lorax complex: deep ecology, ecocentrism and exclusion

"Radicalists" may be very disappointed by lack of support from mainstream environmental organizations and individuals who tend to go to groups of people, but still the most strategic political choice is the ecological It is a peaceful group that lobbying for profit. On the other hand, if there is no support from the general public or the government and continue to make the "ecological warrior" a demon, the benefits of the ecosystem will not be recognized. But how simple it is to solve it is to integrate deep ecological ethics into mainstream political institutions to avoid extremism and achieve true planet sustainability. The authors recognize that this integration may not be realistic in the current social and political environment, but ignoring the dark green aspect may lead to serious environmental problems such as loss of biodiversity Is one of the "lowest" visions. solved.

The central spiritual principle of deep ecology is that human species are part of the earth and are not separated from it. Self-realization or 're-grounding' processes are used by individuals to intuitively gain an ecological-centric perspective. The foundation of this concept is that we become better acquainted with ourselves as we expand ourselves to match other people (people, animals, ecosystems). Warwick Fox uses super personal psychology to support this view. On the traditions of Judaism and Christianity, Ness advocates the following criticisms. "The arrogance of the steward is a concept of superiority, like a respected mediator between the Creator and the Creator.

Another ecological-centered approach is "deep ecology" designed by Arne Naess. It stems from gratitude for religion other than Christianity that acknowledges the sanctity of natural phenomena. This includes the concept of "biosphere equalityism", which believes that all living things have intrinsic value. Deep ecology regards the world as a network of interdependent phenomena related to each other, that is, "living net". These theories can not determine how moral interest is in small form of life, and how mountains, etc have moral concern. It weakens it as Christianity. But it seems more empathic to conclude that not only human beings but also other forms of life have inherent value.
