Kerusakan lingkungan adalah masalah besar yang kini dihadapi manusia. Deep ecology adalah jenis etika environmentalisme yang bereaksi terhadap kerusakan lingkungan dengan berusaha membuktikan alam memiliki nilai intrinsik. Gagasan deep ecology menjadi kontraposisi dari antroposentrisme. Padahal, antroposentrisme yang digagas oleh Stephen K White telah memperkenalkan dimensi tanngung jawab terhadap lingkungan dengan mengajukan konsep subject centred responsibility. Dengan demikian, dalam usaha menjaga lingkungan, konsep subject centred responsibility milik White dapat digunakan untuk mengkritik pandangan-pandangan etika deep ecology.
Abstract
Environmental destruction is a mass problem that mankind now faces. Deep ecology is a type of environmental ethic that reacts to environmental destruction by trying to emphasize that nature does have intrinsic value. The idea of deep ecology has become a contra of anthropocentrism. Meanwhile, anthropocentrism that was formulated and presented by Stephen K White introduced a dimension of responsibility towards the environment through the concept of subject centered responsibility. Thus in an effort to protect the environment, the concept of subject centered responsibility by White can be used to criticize ethical views on deep ecology. |
