Ecosophy facts for kids

Ecosophy or ecophilosophy is a philosophy of ecological harmony or balance.

The term was coined by the French philosopher and Félix Guattari and the Norwegian father of deep ecology, Arne Næss.

The concept has become one of the foundations of the deep ecology movement. All expressions of values by Green Parties list ecological wisdom as a key value - it was one of the original Four Pillars of the Green Party and is often considered the most basic value of these parties.

It is also often associated with indigenous religion and cultural practices. In its political context, it is necessarily not as easily defined as ecological health or scientific ecology concepts.
