Stables, Andrew
- Abstract
The article discusses the issue of humanistic approach towards environmental concerns. Environmentalists state that humanism more than socialism is the root cause of the current environmental crisis. Naturalist Lewis Hickman states that environmental concern has always been an important aspect of humanism. He blames the deterministic and reductive sociobiology as the root cause of the growing estrangement between human and ecology. Environmentalists believe that Hickman's theories are based on the assumption that human life cannot be reduced to mere nature. They states that those who oppose economic growth for safeguarding environment, doesn't pose any fundamental threat to humanism.
