| The well-intentioned exhortation to replace anthropocentrism with biocentrism, if pushed very far, becomes a curious contradiction. |
|
| Paul Taylor's version of this view, which we might call biocentrism, is a deontological example. |
|
| I think in my biocentrism, which is a hard row to hoe in an anthropocentric, increasingly anthropogenic world. |
|
| Mr. Hattingh warned against the strict implementation of the distinction between anthropocentrism and biocentrism. |
|
| Anthropocentrism is complementary to biocentrism and allows for the understanding of sustainability. |
|
| However, the preservationist ethic can go beyond biocentrism in that it is not life itself that always carries moral value. |
|
| Ecocentrism is a third category, which is closely related to biocentrism and often subordinated to it. |
|
| Accordingly, environmental philosophers have spent the last thirty or so years pursuing various forms of nonanthropocentrism, including biocentrism and ecocentrism. |
|
| In the dominant U.S. worldview and value system biocentrism is counter-intuitive. The middle-class and striving to be middle-class college students I teach just don't get it. |
|
| Steve Gillett suggests a hybrid view that combines anthropocentrism as applied to terrestrial activity with biocentrism for worlds with indigenous life. |
|
| The resulting philosophy of biocentrism regards humans as one species among many in a given ecosystem and holds that the natural environment is intrinsically valuable independent of its ability to be exploited by humans. |
|
| Normative incentives have to do with notions about justice, equity, indigenous rights, biocentrism, and so on. |
|
| Initial articles define biocentrism and discuss bioromanticism and the naming of biomorphism. |
|
| Those who did respond seemed wary of getting stuck with the label of biocentrism or being perceived as naively enthusiastic. |
|
| Taylor provided a philosophical account of why life should be accepted as the criterion of moral standing, and he offered a reasoned and principled account of the practical implications of biocentrism. |
|
| Any living individual is, being equal to any other, worthy of moral consideration: this is what is called biocentrism, its standard-bearers are Paul Taylor and Holmes Rolston. |
|
| Advocates of biocentrism maintain that social consciousness in Canada now favours redressing historical and current wrongs against Aboriginal peoples. |
