  • The Relationship Between Ecocentric Theory

    The Relationship Between Ecocentric Theory

    Democracy and the Claims of Nature Edited by Bob Pepperman Taylor and Ben Minteer Lanham, Maryland: Rowman and Littlefield Publishers Inc, 2002. “Environmental pragmatism, ecocentrism and deliberative democracy: between problem- solving and fundamental critique’ Robyn Eckersley Introduction The debate over the virtues of ecocentric theory (moral monism) versus environmental pragmatism (moral pluralism) provides an occasion to reflect upon the democratic character of these respective environmental philosophies and their associated political practices. Environmental pragmatists have been generally critical of monistic philosophies, which they understand ecocentrism to be, on the grounds that they are dogmatic, insensitive to diverse cultural and moral contexts and therefore too inflexible to be of any assistance in the practical resolution of environmental problems and conflicts.1 Environmental pragmatism, on the other hand, is defended as more tolerant, open-minded and ecumenical in its respect for moral pluralism and cultural diversity and more democratic in its defense of environmental policy deliberation by the affected parties. It is also defended as more effective when it comes to practical environmental problem solving. In response, ecocentric philosophers (most notably J. Baird Callicott) have argued that the pragmatists’ embrace of moral pluralism carries with it the danger of lapsing into indecisive relativism. In particular, the refusal by environmental pragmatists to privilege any substantive environmental values in advance of policy dialogue is seen as problematic insofar as it can lead to philosophical contradictions and dubious political outcomes that may not necessarily protect the environment.2 According to this construction, ecocentric theorists and activists are the fearless environmental justice advocates, standing up for the interests of the environmental victims of economic development, including both humans and nonhuman species.

    Pendle Sculpture Trail in an Atmospheric Woodland Setting

    Walk distance: It is approximately 1 mile to get to the trail from Barley Car Park including one uphill stretch and one steep path. Once in Aitken Wood, which is situated on a slope, you could easily walk another mile walking around. Please wear stout footwear as there can be some muddy stretches after wet weather. Allow around 2 to 3 hours for your visit. See back cover for details on how to book a tramper vehicle for easier access to the wood for people with walking difficulties. Visit the Pendle Sculpture Trail in an atmospheric woodland setting. Art, history and nature come together against the stunning backdrop of Pendle Hill. Four artists have created a unique and intriguing range of sculptures. Their work is inspired by the history of the Pendle Witches of 1612 and the natural world in this wild and beautiful corner of Lancashire. A Witches Plaque Explore the peaceful setting of Aitken Wood to find ceramic plaques by Sarah McDade. She’s designed each one individually to symbolise the ten people from Pendle who were accused of witchcraft over 400 years ago. You’ll also find an inspiring range of sculptures, large and small, which are created from wood, steel and stone, including Philippe Handford’s amazing The Artists (as pictured here left to right) are Philippe Handford (Lead curving tree sculptures.

They make up the true lingua franca of commerce, politics, and psyche; they are the ‘cloaking devices’ par excellence of the human social world. (Sanford Kwinter)1 One must see, at first sight, what does not let itself be seen. And this is invisibility itself. For what first sight misses is the invisible.
