History

  • Mountaineer and Philosipher
  • Introduced the term "deep ecology" to environmental literature.

Doctrinal

7 Dimensions:

Doctrinal

  • The well-being and flourishing of human and nonhuman life on Earth have value in themselves (synonyms: intrinsic value, inherent value). These values are independent of the usefulness of the nonhuman world for human purposes.
  • Richness and diversity of life forms contribute to the realization of these values and are also values in themselves.

Ethical

7 Dimensions:

Ethical

  • Humans have no right to reduce this richness and diversity except to satisfy vital human needs.
  • The flourishing of human life and cultures is compatible with a substantial decrease of the human population. The flourishing of nonhuman life requires such a decrease.
  • Present human interference with the nonhuman world is excessive, and the situation is rapidly worsening.

Material

Deep Ecologists focus on the importance of nature and how we need to respect it and being equal with all non-human life.
