The profound motivations of Deep Activism
“The deep ecology movement, as many earlier movements before it, takes a step further and asks for the development of a deep identification of individuals with all life forms.”
“Through countless ages, they [the ‘rights of nature’] have been expressed religiously and mystically. Plants and animals also have a right to unfolding and self-realisation. They have the right to live.”
ARNE NAESS (1989, pp. 85 and 165)
