“ Surely a better time must be drawing nigh when godlike human beings will become truly humane, and learn to put their animal fellow mortals in their hearts instead of on their backs or in their dinners. ” — John Muir
The deep green worldview
The deep green worldview honours the intrinsic value of hawks, hoverflies, holly trees, and all the other members of the more-than-human world. It is a profound ethical extension from considering only the instrumental benefits of their existence for humans, and 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.
