deep ecology: a term coined by Norwegian philosopher Aarne Naess who at 88 is the world's oldest environmental philosopher (he also calls it "ecosophy," [a term which refers to "ecological philosophy"]. Deep ecologists ask us to look into deeply into our relationship with nature; to develop self-realization through a feeling of oneness with nature; to reject materialism; and to go beyond the concerns of "shallow" or "reformist" anthropocentric concerns about issues such as pollution. 3, record 1, English, - deep%20ecology

La doctrine de l'écologie fondamentale («deep ecology») remplace aujourd'hui le marxisme défunt en tant que construction intellectuelle visant à faire entrer l'homme dans un monde meilleur [...]. Curieux rapiéçage de divers éléments empruntés aux traditionnels extrémismes de droite et de gauche, l'écologie fondamentale se démarque du mouvement environnementaliste, rejeté comme étant réformiste. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cologisme%20radical

Comme il s'agit d'une doctrine, et non d'une science, il serait plus correct de parler d'écologisme plutôt que d'écologie. 7, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cologisme%20radical

El término ecología profunda fue acuñado por Arne Naess y se refiere a un enfoque profundo y espiritual sobre la naturaleza [...] La ecología profunda es mucho más que una aproximación fragmentaria a los problemas medioambientales, [es] una aproximación que intenta articular una visión religiosa y filosófica comprensiva sobre el mundo. 5, record 1, Spanish, - ecolog%C3%ADa%20profunda
