  • The Eco-Feminist Connection
    DISCUSSION PAPERS Deeper than Deep Ecology: The Eco-Feminist Connection Ariel Kay Salleh* I offer a feminist critique of deep ecology as presented in the seminal papers of Naess and Devall. I outline the fundamental premises involved and analyze their internal coherence. Not only are there problems on logical grounds, but the tacit methodological approach of the two papers are inconsistent with the deep ecologists' own substantive comments. I discuss these shortcomings in terms of a broader feminist critique of patriarchal culture and point out some practical and theoretical contributions which eco-feminism can make to a genuinely deep ecology problematic. ... beyond that perception of otherness lies the perceptioll ofpysche, polity and cosmos, as metaphors of one another. ... lohn Rodman I In what sense is eco-feminism "deeper than deep ecology"? Or is this a facile and arrogant claim? To try to answer this question is to engage in a critique of a critique, for deep ecology itself is already an attempt to transcend the shortsighted instrumental pragmatism of the resource-management approach to the environ­ mental crisis. It argues for a new n1etaphysics and an ethic based on the recognition of the intrinsic worth of the nonhuman world. It abandons the hardheaded scien­ tific approach to reality in favor of a more spiritual consciousness. It asks for voluntary simplicity in living and a nonexploitive steady-state economy. The appropriateness of these attitudes as expressed in Naess' and Devall's seminal papers on the deep ecology movement is indisputable. 2 But what is the organic basis of this paradigm shift? Where are Naess and Devall "coming from," as they say? Is deep ecology a sociologically coherent position? * P.O.

  • From Deep Ecology to the Blue Economy 2011
    The Blue Economy From Deep Ecology to The Blue Economy A review of the main concepts related to environmental, social and ethical business that contributed to the creation of The Blue Economy written by Gunter Pauli February 2011 based on an original article written by the same author in 1999 © 2011, Gunter Pauli If I can see beyond the green economy today, It is thanks to the giants on whose shoulders I stand Environmental deterioration and the imbalance between man and nature increasingly preoccupy scholars, philosophers, businessmen and policy makers alike. The disparity between rich and poor and the continuous incapacity to respond to the basic needs of all (not only humans) preoccupies many. It seems that the only sustainable phenomena of our modern time is the loss of biodiversity and our incapacity to eliminate poverty. Even though we all look reality in the eye, we seem to lack the vision and the tools to make a difference and steer our excessive consumption society in general and our competitive business world towards sustainability. Our media continue to report on the loss of forest cover, biodiversity, and human dignity. My concern has always been: in spite of the statistics showing the downward trends, what can I do to make a material difference on the ground. Since the 1950s we have seen a series of ideas and conceptual frameworks that have emerged from studies that illustrate the disconnect between our exploitative culture and the Earth's limited resources. This document attempts to summarize the most important persons and organizations whose work has greatly influenced my present thinking on business, environment, social development and ethics.

  • Architectural Education in the Current of Deep Ecology and Sustainability
    buildings Article Architectural Education in the Current of Deep Ecology and Sustainability Ewa Cisek and Anna Jaglarz * Faculty of Architecture, Wrocław University of Science and Technology, ul. Bolesława Prusa 53/55, 50-317 Wrocław, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: As a result of the experience and scientific research of the authors on the deep ecology and sustainability process, academic courses were created that are run at two stages of educating architecture students. The authors aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness and quality of the courses as well as the rationality of the assumptions and educational methods adopted for their implementation. One of them was the survey method, as a didactic and scientific experiment and didactic tool. The innovative educational methodology presented in the work may be implemented by other educators at architectural universities in order to improve the quality of teaching design in the spirit of pro-ecological and sustainable development. The result is a long-term action which constitutes a tool to combat the ecological crisis. It consists of bottom-up activities, both in the open landscape (ecovillages) and in the urban context (housing complexes with elements of urban farms and environmental education parks). This is connected with the application of the educational system from the pre-school level in the place of residence up to in-depth academic education.

First, to provide context, the most obvious shortcomings of modern industrial agriculture are briefly presented. Next, introductions to some of the more prominent movements that are attempting to restore mindful stewardship and husbandry practices to the agricultural process are provided. Then, a basic overview of Fukuoka's life and farming philosophy is followed by an analysis of the ways in which Fukuoka is quoted and portrayed when he appears in the works of Western writers of agrarianism in order to shed some light on how Fukuoka is perceived abroad and to thereby suggest just what sort of influence he wields during this turbulent time in global food production. Introduction Mr. Fukuoka has understood that we cannot isolate one aspect of life from another. When we change the way we grow our food, we change our food, we change society, we change our values.

  • Thesis Rethinking Deep Ecology
    THESIS RETHINKING DEEP ECOLOGY: FROM CRITIQUE TO SYNTHESIS Submitted by Chelsea L. Welker Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2013 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Bradley J. Macdonald Dimitris Stevis Paul Trembath ABSTRACT RETHINKING DEEP ECOLOGY: FROM CRITIQUE TO SYNTHESIS Deep ecology represents a strain of radical ecopolitical theory that has, over the past forty years, engaged in various debates with other strains of radical ecopolitical thought. Though deep ecology has attempted to defend itself against many critiques from this field, my analysis aims to reassess deep ecology’s responses (or its silences) related to some of these charges. My goal is to adequately respond to these critiques that have been made against deep ecology, particularly the critiques that have arose from social ecology and from perspectives concerned with the Global South. At the same time, I utilize these critiques and my own responses to them to rethink deep ecology’s role in the transformation of contemporary societies toward greater ecological sustainability. I add to this debate amongst radical ecopolitical theories by outlining the most important critiques that have been made at deep ecology from the above fields, in addition to formulating more adequate responses from the perspective of deep ecology. Moreover, I explicitly concern my analysis with how this re-envisioned deep ecology can constitute a viable political theory and play a vital role in the radical transformation of political societies for the benefit of both nature and human beings. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ........................................................................

In 2002, the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg made significant commitments to improve the lives of people living in poverty and to reverse the continuing degradation of the global environment. These are lofty goals that I am sure we all can agree with. But what does it mean to you and me, living day to day in one of the most prosperous countries in the world? We wanted to find out so we surveyed our readers on a host of questions related to sustainable development.

Deep Ecology and the Death of Anthropocentrism Orlando José Ferrer Montaño Universidad del Zulia, Facultad Experimental de Ciencias, Departamento de Biología, Apartado postal 10076, Maracaibo, Estado Zulia, Venezuela. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Deep Ecology arises as a new perception to visualize the inexora- ble changes that humanity currently confronts. This new scientific- philosophical-religious approach claims for a new treatment for the Earth. However, this new eco-centered approach transcends the limit of any particular science of today, and claims that simple reforms are not sufficient. Deep Ecology calls for a reduction of human population and change to our high-energy consumption and profligate resource use. An- thropocentrism should be substituted by ecocentrism; a shift from an- thropos, the human, to eco, the Earth. Although I am not an advocated to Deep Ecology, in this paper I present a series of thoughts endorsing some of the Deep Ecology’s claims. I argue that deep ecological thinking and actions, together with a better use of our scientific, economic and natural resources will add for a better and lasting global world.

  • Reduction of the Global Human Population – a Rectificatory Argument Based on Environmental Considerations
    Linköping University | Department of Culture and Communication Master’s Thesis, 15 ECTS Credits | Applied Ethics Spring Semester 2016 | LIU‐CTE‐AE‐EX‐‐16/01‐‐SE Reduction of the Global Human Population – A Rectificatory Argument based on Environmental Considerations Stijn Koenraads Supervisor: Prof. Anders Nordgren Examiner: Prof. Göran Collste Linköping University SE‐581 83 Linköping +46 13 28 10 00, www.liu.se Abstract Contrary to what many scholars hold, a case can be made for human population reduction (the practice of artificially decreasing the number of human beings on the Earth). Robin Attfield’s, Paul Taylor’s, Arne Næss’s and J. Baird Callicott’s theories are considered for justifying human population reduction; however, only Næss’s actually justifies reduction. Another argument for human population reduction is developed, based on rectification: humans have unjustly harmed other living entities and themselves, and they should provide rectification for the harm done. Human population reduction is a way in which this rectification can be given.

For Hank, Environmental Edu- cation is a lifestyle as well as a career. Educational methodology is ever changing for Hank because he realizes there is never a set equation to follow when utilizing the learning community mod- el. Hank feels strongly about modeling behavior as an intricate part of environmental education. He teaches from the perspective of working toward the most ideal human/planetary relationship that can be formed, while also realizing we must work from a place of practicality. In the past Hank has lived at a consensus- run community-based land trust and worked as a field engineer for an energy conservation company. Hank is the father of an eight year old daughter (Marlo). He now shares with friends the responsibility of being a land steward in a beautiful riparian e- cosystem in the state of Maine. When he is not traveling and living out-of-doors, Hank lives in a eight by ten foot remodeled super-insulated chicken coop. Gardening is an important way for Hank to live a lower impact lifestyle. His favorite wild places to explore are the sandstone canyons of the Escalante River system and the glacial valleys of the Wind River Mountains.
