Deep Ecology by Bill Devall & George Sessions

In order for living and non-living creatures to live in harmony and increase life quality, humans must develop their spirituality and realize their uniqueness as a part of a whole.

Devall & Session's Supporting Arguments

What is Social Ecology by Murray Bookchin

In order to effectively solve ecological problems, we must approach

them from a stance which analyzes human societies as their root cause.

Bookchin's Supporting Arguments

“Human beings always remain rooted

in their biological evolutionary history,

which we may call 'first Nature', but they

produce a characteristically human

social nature of their own

which we may call ' second nature'.”

Gerontocracies-->Patriarchy-->Hierarchy

Eventually, based on the idea of

domination, society created a

market which took on a life

of its own. This also

effects how we interact

with the environment.

“They would be municipalized, rather than

nationalized or privatized.”

“ It challenges the entire system of domination

itself and seeks to eliminate the hierarchical

and class edifice that has imposed itself on

humanity and defined the relationship

between nonhuman and human nature.”

Questions:

Deep Ecology vs. Social Ecology

Main Thesis

Grow or Die

Biocentric Equality

Self Realization

Social Hierarchy, Dominance & the Idea of Dominating Nature

"All things in the biosphere

have equal right to live...

and to reach their own

individual forms of...

self-realization within the

larger self-realization.

Realizing one's role in life

and seeing oneself as a unique part of the big picture.

Nature & Society

“ the idea of dominating nature has its primary

source in the domination of human by

human and the structuring of the natural

world into a hierarchical Chain of Being.”

An Ecological Society

Deep Ecology vs.

Social Ecology

Community

development

vs. Individual

Development

  • Deep ecology: The realization of Self-in-Self
  • Social Ecology: First nature and second nature
  • The essential point: The view on the relationship between humans and nature

Deep Ecology &

Biocentrism vs. Social

Ecology &

Anthropocentrism

Personal Reflections

Do you think there are significant ideological differences between the two papers? If so, can you think of any examples of movements/events/organizations that demonstrate either ideology?

Where do these papers fit into the 'Flower of Values' we looked at in class? (Antropocentrism vs. Biocentrism, Individual Freedom vs. Social Responsibility). Where do you think a policies of ecological preservation should fit into that chart?

Deep Ecology tends to be more idealistic, wheras Social Ecology tends to be more realistic on how it presents its information. Which method did you find more approachable on how today's ecological issues could be solved? Does this 'overly idealstic' attitude detracts from the message of environmental concern, or does it help getting at least some part of the issue heard?
