Antigos documentos revelam que a preocupação com a ecologia não é fato recente. Há referências até mesmo no Antigo Testamento. Há intervenções sublimes de Santo Agostinho, Francisco de Assis, Erasmo de Roterdam. Mais recentemente, no séc. XIX, debate-se a “ecologia profunda”, através de Teilhard de Chardin e, depois, com Aldo Leopoldo (1940), Arne Naess (1970) etc. Em nossos dias, o debate sobre a vida, a sustentabilidade, está permanentemente visível na mídia, nas reuniões da ONU etc. Este artigo pretende indagar sobre o papel da Ética como recurso fundamental nesta discussão, concebendo Ética como algo que vai além da mera abordagem estética tão cara à vida moderna.ABSTRACT: Ancient documents reveal that the concern with Ecology isn’t a recent fact.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah dengan melakukan observasi, wawancara lansung dan dokumentasi. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini guna menganalisis permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori ekosentrisme (deep ecology) dari Arne Naess yaitu dalam tiga nilai antara lain nilai normatif, nilai kebijakan, dan nilai gaya hidup. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa fenomena ini berkembang dan diketahui oleh mahasiswa lewat media sosial yang kemudian didukung oleh situasi lingkungan yang sedang menghadapi pandemi covid-19, kemudian didorong oleh beberapa faktor seperti tren gaya hidup dan juga lingkungan sosial yang akhirnya menciptkan kebiasaan baru dalam kehidupan sehari-hari mahasiswa di Universitas Bangka Belitung dalam bentuk gaya hidup ramah lingkungan. Kemunculan tren ini akhirnya memberikan cara baru dalam perubahan di diri individu untuk lebih sadar terhadap kelestarian lingkungan. Gaya hidup yang dikemas lebih ramah lingkungan dan juga memberikan inovasi baru untuk mengurangi timbunan sampah industri.

Arne Naess, a Norwegian philosopher known for his work on semantics and philosophy of science, was committed to Gandhian, non-violent enquiry. As an ecophilosopher and the father of the deep ecology movement, he developed a philosophical system termed ecosophy. According to Naess, the path to understanding lies in an interconnected set of active processes, which include cognitive and emotive components and involve a widening and maturing of the self, which he termed self-realization!. This chapter examines the building blocks of Naess’ ecosophy and its relevance to process philosophy in organization studies. It also discusses four of his key philosophical insights: self-realization, relationalism, gestalt ontology/perception, and the genesis of the Place-person. The chapter concludes by considering how Naess’ work contributes unique insights to a process theory of organizing.

Este artículo explora las ideas de Arne Naess sobre el cambio de paradigma entre una ética antropocéntrica hacia una ética biocéntrica en el marco de una ecología profunda que contrasta con una superficial. Estudiamos algunos casos en América Latina para establecer el vínculo entre el colonialismo y la depredación ecológica, así como la deshumanización de lo indígena. Desde el punto de vista de la de-colonización, también es importante considerar la teoría crítica del pensamiento post-hegeliano, reflejada en los pensadores de la Escuela de Frankfurt. Podemos considerar que la crítica a la modernidad encaja completamente en la mentalidad del imperialismo y la colonización, y esto tiene un impacto directo en la relación entre la ecología y las sociedades que han sido despojadas de las formas de vida antiguas para ser reemplazadas por la cultura industrial de países del tercer mundo. This article explores the idea of Arne Naess about the paradigm shift between an anthropocentric ethics towards a biocentric ethics in the frame of a Deep ecology that contrasts with a shallow one. We study some cases in Latinamerica to establish the link between colonialism and ecology depredation, as well as the de-humanization of the indigenous. In the way of a de-colonization perspective, it is also important to consider the Critical Theory of post-hegelian thought, reflected in thinkers of the Frankfurt School. We can consider that the critic to modernity fits entirely into the mentality of imperialism and colonization, and this has a direct impact into the relation between ecology and societies that have been stripped of ancient ways of life to be replaced with the industrial culture of third world countries.

In the Andean and Amazonian regions of South America new environmental ethics have emerged that postulate intrinsic values in the non-human. These biocentrisms do not derive directly from the deep ecology of Arne Naess, presenting several differences, but there are also important similarities, which are briefly noted. Southern biocentrism recognizes the rights of Nature but does so in an intercultural perspective, is much more politicized, and is part of ‘ontological openings’ to alternatives of ecological community that go beyond modernity.

Based on the artwork Treverk (9) by Norwegian artist Joakim Blattmann, this chapter discusses whether it is possible to exhibit a tree in a gallery space and still respect the tree as having inherent value, in accordance with Arne Næss and George Sessions’ ‘Principles of Deep Ecology’. Aspects such as the artist’s intention, the origin of the materials and the installation of the final artwork are put into question and analysed from a deep ecological perspective. If the tree’s desire is to live, then chopping it up and presenting it as a human spectacle in a gallery space is not to respect its inherent value. Yet the chapter argues that Treverk (9) can still inspire ecological thinking by disturbing the anthropocentric world view and displaying a deep relationality between the artist and the tree.

AbstractThis paper examines the ideal of community as imagined by Arne Naess and the Deep Ecology Movement. In particular the authors address such questions as: Is pluralism of lifestyles reconcilable with the main ideas of the biocentric community? Is liberal justice possible within it? And how realistic is the proposal of education towards a 'biocentric identity'? The analysis shows that, while the deep ecological vision is by no means 'fascist' as some of its critics insist, its inconsistencies, silences and omissions point to an incomplete project which has a dystopian conclusion written into its scenario.
