| At about the summer solstice of 1999, Leo Marx ignited a controversy still running in ecocritical circles by attacking ecocentrism. |
|
| What is, however, worth emphasising is that at one level the differences between technocentrism and ecocentrism are more apparent than real. |
|
| Accordingly, environmental philosophers have spent the last thirty or so years pursuing various forms of nonanthropocentrism, including biocentrism and ecocentrism. |
|
| It thus promises to take us beyond the Nature-Society dualism organising both previous Marxian work on nature and versions of bourgeois technocentrism and radical ecocentrism. |
|
| This was one of the crowning moments paving the way for ecocentrism. |
|
| Ecocentrism is a third category, which is closely related to biocentrism and often subordinated to it. |
|
| Ecocentrism is either partly or emphatically non-anthropocentric. |
|
| Ecocentrism is easily deformed, misunderstood and misinterpreted. |
|
| Ecocentrism is preferred, from an evolutionary point of view, as ecosystems form the basic units of nature and the matrices in which humans and animals evolve. |
|
| Ecocentrism considers nature to have its own aims. |
