Deep Ecology Pelluchon Deep Ecology/Pelluchon: The pitfall of separating ecology and existence, as can be blamed on the environmental ethics that emerged in the 1970s (as in the deep ecology of the influential Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess) [is to be avoided].
Deep Ecology/Pelluchon: whose achievement consisted in decentering ethics by attributing to living beings a value beyond their usefulness.
PelluchonVsNaess/PelluchonVsDeep Ecology: in its praise of natural wilderness, however, this ecological thinking of the 1970s tended to merely renew in other ways the dualism of man and nature that its opponents claimed. >Body/Pelluchon.

Ecology Naess Singer I 251
Ecology/Naess, Arne/Singer, P.: (A. Naess (1973)(1): Def Shallow Ecology/Naess: is limited to the traditional framework of ethics: this is about not polluting water, for example, in order to have enough drinking water and to avoid pollution, so that one can continue to enjoy nature. On the other hand,
Def Deep Ecology/Naess: wants to preserve the biosphere for its own sake, regardless of the potential benefit to mankind.
Deep Ecology/Naess/Singer, P.: thus takes as its subject matter larger units than the individual: species, ecosystems and even the biosphere as a whole.
Deep Ecology(2): (A. Naess and G. Sessions (1984)(2)
Principles:
1. The wellbeing and development of human and non-human life on earth have a value in itself (intrinsic, inherent value), regardless of the non-human world's use for human purposes.
2. Wealth and diversity of life forms contribute to the realization of these values and are values in themselves.
3. People do not have the right to diminish the wealth and diversity of the world, except when it comes to vital interests.
Singer I 252
Biosphere/Naess/Sessions/Singer, P.: Sessions and Naess use the term "Biosphere" in a broad sense, so that rivers, landscapes and ecosystems are also included. P. SingerVsNaess: (see also SingerVsSessions): the ethics of deep ecology does not provide satisfactory answers to the value of the life of individuals. Maybe that is the wrong question. Ecology is more about systems than individual organisms. Therefore, ecological ethics should be related to species and ecosystems.
Singer I 253
So there is a kind of Holism behind it. This is shown by Lawrence Johnson (L. Johnson, A Morally Deep World, Cambridge, 1993). Johnson's thesis: The interests of species are different from the sum of individual interests and exist simultaneously together with individual interests within our moral considerations. >Climate change, >Climate damage, >Energy policy, >Clean Energy Standards, >Climate data, >Climate history, >Climate justice, >Climate periods, >Climate targets, >Climate impact research

Deep Ecology/Pelluchon: whose achievement consisted in decentering ethics by attributing to living beings a value beyond their utility.
PelluchonVsNaess/PelluchonVsDeep Ecology: in its praise of the natural wilderness, however, this ecological thinking of the 1970s tended to only renew in other ways the dualism of man and nature that its opponents claimed.
Physicality/Body/Pelluchon: Moreover, the holistic vision defended by the environmental ethics of the 1970s was too abstract: because it only addressed reason and not affects, it could not induce individuals to change their lifestyle. Nor did this thinking succeed in inspiring an ecological policy to put the economy at the service of living things and to reorganize production in such a way that it takes into account the limits of the planet and frees certain sectors, such as agriculture, livestock and care, from the economic dictates of maximum efficiency. >Body/Pelluchon, >Environmental Ethics/Pelluchon, >Ecology/Naess.

Knowledge Naess I 398
Knowledge/Naess: (E.g. About the apple in front of me) when I am drunk, I might grasp at nothing. In our search for knowledge there is no such thing. An increase of evidence can perhaps be estimated or even measured, but not an approach to knowledge. The gripping does not happen but this does not comply with the grasp at nothing. The distance between the truth (sic) and reaching the truth cannot be accurately determined. From the side of proving there can be no zero point determined. ((s) VsNaess: Naess oscillates between approaching knowledge and approaching truth.)
