"The recognition that a profound change in perception and thinking is needed if we are to survive has not yet reached most of our corporate leaders either, nor the administrators and professors of our large universities. Not only do our leaders fail to see how different problems are interrelated; they also refuse to recognise how their so-called solutions affect future generations. From the systemic point of view, the only viable solutions are those that are 'sustainable'. The concept of sustainability has become a key concept in the ecology movement and is indeed crucial."
Deep Ecology
The new paradigm may be called a holistic worldview, seeing the world as an integrated whole rather than a dissociated collection of parts. It may also be called an ecological view, if the term 'ecological' is used in a much broader and deeper sense than usual.....the latter is a more valid desciption of the new paradigm.
