This collection of thirty-nine articles explores the fundamental principles of Deep Ecology, its roots in influential thinkers such as Thoreau, Muir, and Carson, and its relationship to social ecology, ecofeminism, and other movements. The book delves into the philosophy of Deep Ecology, examining its key concepts and ideas through the perspectives of leading writers and thinkers. It also examines how this approach is lived out by notable environmentalists such as Gary Snyder and Arne Naess, and explores the implications for ecological sustainability and social change. This comprehensive collection provides a thorough understanding of the principles and practices of Deep Ecology, offering valuable insights into a new approach to environmentalism that prioritises the intrinsic value of nature.
