Ecocentrism is a point of view that recognizes the ecosphere as the central importance instead of the biosphere. It is a system of values that is centered on nature instead of one centered on humans.
example of ecocentrism
Ecocentrism is a worldview that considers nature and ecosystems as inherently valuable, independent of human interests. Anthropocentrism, on the other hand, places human beings at the center, viewing nature as primarily serving human needs and interests. Ecocentrism promotes a more holistic and interconnected perspective on the environment, while anthropocentrism tends to prioritize human well-being above all else.
It depends on what type of chauvinism you are talking about; male chauvinism= female chauvinism (and vice-versa) human chauvinism (anthropocentrism)= environment chauvinism (ecocentrism) etc...etc...
Anthropocentrism- human-centered ethics- assumes humans are morally significant Biocentrism- states that all forms of life have the right to exist Ecocentrism- maintains the environment deserves direct moral consideration, not merely derived from human or animal interests.
