Deep ecology as an aesthetic movement

Journal/Book: Environ Value. 1996; 5: 1 Strond, Isle of Harris, Scotland PA83 3UD. White Horse Press. 147-160.

Abstract: Many deep ecologists call for a 'new ecological ethic'. If this ethic is meant to be a moral ethic, then deep ecology fails. However if deep ecology is interpreted as an aesthetic movement, then it is both philosophically coherent and practically adequate.
