The term deep ecology was originated by Norwegian philosopher and social activist Arne Naess. In a 1973 article, Naess defined deep ecology as a normative, ecophilosophical movement that is inspired and fortified in part by our experience as humans in nature and in part by ecological knowledge.
In this paper, the major tenet of deep ecology and the relationship between deep ecology as philosophical perspective and critiques on deep ecology come from eco-feminism and social ecology are discussed.
In spite of the socioeconomic and scientific naivete of deep ecology, she was a label for a philosophical tendency that provided both a critique of swallow environmentalism and a critique of industrial society and the anthropocentric bias that type of society.
