Question

_________maintains that the environment deserves direct moral consideration and not consideration that is merely derived from human or animal interests. In ecocentrism it is suggested that the environment itself, not just the living organisms that inhabit it, has moral worth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ecocentrism

Explanation:

Ecocentrism is a philosophical view used in ecological political philosophy to describe a nature-centred as opposed to human centered(anthopocentric) view of the environment. Here environment is equalized with the value of human life, in other words the ethical belief that humans have equal intrinsic value with non-human nature as there are no "existential" divisions between them. Studies are therefore geared towards environmental ethics; human relationship with environment and how humans treat nature(right or wrong)

Answer 2

Answer:ecocentrism

Explanation: ecocentrism is an environmental theory in which the entirety of the ecosystem is given moral consideration. I.e the same value accorded to living beings is accorded to the non-human (abiotic) section of the ecosystem. It was birthed from the importance of ecology to nature.
