ECOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHY
 Deep Ecology
• all living things
possess equal value
and intrinsic worth
regardless of their
usefulness or utility to
other beings (Arne

structured around
hierarchies as well as
economic classes use their
authority to dominate
natural resources and
exploit the environment for
profit and self-interest
(Murray Bookchin )
Ecofeminism
• assumes that
male-centered
view of nature is
the root cause
of ecological
problems
 Ecofeminism
• a society that tolerates
the oppression of
women is directly
linked with its
tendency to tolerate
the abuse of the
environment and the
degradation of nature
Ecofeminism
• features the existing
patriarchal and
capitalist systems in
our society as social
and economic
exploitative to the
detrimental of
women and nature
