Ecocentrism
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Ecocentric)
Ecocentrism or physiocentrism is a synonym for biocentrism, but differs in that it does not principally distinguish between living and non living forms of nature (for example biogeochemical cycles).
The move from an anthropocentric world view to an ecocentric one has been described by analogy to the move from a geocentric to a heliocentric cosmological view in the Copernican revolution.
By not focusing solely on human activity, and taking into account physical processes which support life, the aim of an ecocentric outlook is to be more consistent with the reality of life on earth as defined by ecology.
