Ecocentrism, Antrophocentrism In Philosophy and Environmental Ethics

The idea presented above aims to explain why non-human animals are given consideration in this ethics. The natural world or environment is admitted into the moral community. The perspective on human moral behavior is broadened in this part.

Environmental ethics is a critique of the ethical standards that humans who are confined to human social communities have up until now chosen. Ethics The biotic community or ecological community must be included in the application of ethics and morals due to the environment. Ethics is sometimes thought of as a critical analysis of what people ought to do when faced with moral decisions regarding environmental challenges.

This information ought to serve as a wake-up call for the government to reevaluate its current course. Because recently, by pawning the fate of millions of marginalized people, the laws passed by the government and the House of Representatives actually benefited a small number of businesspeople and extractive corporations.

Conclusion

The environmental catastrophe that humanity faces on a worldwide scale at the start of the twenty-first century has sparked a renewed awareness of how to handle nature and the environment as habitats and sources of life. According to an anthropocentric viewpoint, human activities that disregard environmental sustainability are actually what cause environmental problems, whether they do so knowingly or unknowingly. 

When this issue is brought on by extensive operations like mining and industrial pollution, it will become even more visible. Of course, such actions that harm the environment go counter to the ecocentric viewpoint that egoism should be eliminated by placing the interests of nature above human or even class interests.
