- what are the principles of deep ecology?
(for eduational purpose)
Satish Kumar explains the difference between shallow ecology and deep ecology terms first coined by the Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess. Drawing from his Jain religious background, he describes what he sees as the sacredness of nature. He suggests how the notion of deep ecology could be developed still further to form a reverential ecology that challenges the Darwinian notion of survival of the fittest.

What a wise man. This should be shown on TV every day.
Please don't forget that in the 1930's, Grey Owl, the Canadian Woodsman, almost single-handed saved the Beaver from extinction and remarked: "Nature does not belong to us, we belong to Nature." He also gave a Command Performance" for the King and Queen of England in 1937. I love Satish Kumar's mind and message. Just suggesting that getting to know Grey Owl the slightest bit will lift your day I suspect. Grey Owl is a superman compared to so many of us nowadays. His books are rich beyond measure. ruclips.net/video/pjrV8tA_Ca8/видео.html
Humans have developed all forms of institutions......from religious, commerce, governing and entertainment to see ourselves seperate and above nature.................
We will learn that mistake when it is too late............
ASU sustainability class sent me here...
SOS 100!!
I'm studying Environmental Science at University at the moment and he's correct in saying it's very human centered. It's like that for a reason though, we have a rapidly growing world population and even the goals of shallow ecology are unrealistic now in the current system. On one level I completely agree with this outlook but try making that work for 7, 8, 9 billion humans.
Thank so much Pr. Satich Kumar, for this Great talk in Deep Ecology, hope you will continue regularly to influence the whole planet espeacially those in Power to Do Something before its too late.
* Yes, everything is reflexive - and everybody too.
But nothing possesses conscious - and nobody neither.
Conscious is everywhere, and some people can feel it,
as a graceful & reflexive sign of the all mighty we all share.
(inside).
:-D
Lovelock says, natural selection is an important part of the Gaia system. Natural selection happens everywhere in nature (killing, to put it bluntly; may it seeds or meat, what we eat). And a similar process is the 'forging' in society by competition in economics and critical discussions in science, for example. These processes serve a good purpose.
So, what's the conclusion to not interrupt the 'sacred dance': We have to embrace our own death as part of a greater cycle. Can be pretty hard...
Yes! I love the way he expressed that.
Our ego is too arrogant... Let's face this.
Such an incredible explanation
Hi Sir, thank you for your interest and thank you for sharing your point of View - which makes a point of You.
Please receive my humble answer with love & understanding.
* Yes, Deep Ecology might be irrational - fortunately.
But Deep Ecology cannot be dangerous - only man (kind) is.
Yes, modern globalists have interest to divinise Nature (Gaïa is back) - Deep Ecology don't.
Thank you for your awareness !
wow, what wise man!!!
yes i agree
this is a very strong message!!!!!!!
Wish he could be one step behind me permanently to help me make sense of life :-). Seems to have it so sussed
Yes, reverential ecology! The Gaian Way is a manifestation of that!
I agree entirely.
excellent summary! i really liked it, i'll subtitle the chunk in Spanish from 4:31 onward (I already made the first chunk). thanks for uploading this, a.
Viewer Warning: This clip has a huge religious undertone, and therefore must be closely inspected for overlooked biases and unintentional fallacies. However, one can still learn from dissecting religious beliefs and their implications, such as the ones found in this video. Forks Up!
brilliant
Wonderful 👏 👏 👏
Yes yes yes. I admire his words deeply. Vegan values of interconnectedness and respect
wow
Even though atheists don't agree with this guy. I do. I'm a atheist human being and I can still understand exactly what he's talking about.
Thanks for posting, Neo Frics. I want to go to school and study deep ecology. Would you recommend me to study agroecology if deep ecology is not offer in any US school? Or what other very similar careers, degrees or courses to deep ecology would you recommend to study?
Chris Carlie its a module in Philosophy here in the UK
What are humans even good for? That's something I wonder.
I've not read it, but Wendell Berry wrote a book that seems relevant to this question. It's called "What are People For?" If you're unfamiliar with his Berry, he is a farmer, novelist, poet, and deep thinker on the interconnections of ecology, humans, and spiritual matters. He's from and lives in Kentucky, USA, where he farms the same plot of land that several generations of his ancestors farmed. From what I've read of his work, I can vouch for the quality of his writing and thought. Perhaps "What are People For?" might prove interesting to you.
interesting...he doesn't mind sitting on a leather chair. Looks fairly instrumental!
