“ The perception of beauty in the world is the proof of our belonging, the bridge to a wider sympathy extended beyond our own kind. ” — Stan Rowe
The deep green worldview
The deep green worldview honours the intrinsic value of hawks, hornbeams, hoverflies, and all the other members of the more-than-human world. It is a profound ethical extension from considering only, or primarily, the instrumental benefits that arise for us from non-humans; and this is not merely in an academic sense. Rather, the far-reaching practical implications of this worldview include the imperative and motivation to save as many life forms as we possibly can from the cresting wave of mass extinction and, more generally, to live in ways that support a flourishing of our non-human kin.
