Abstract

Deep ecology, in its broad meaning, is used by Naess to refer to the broad ecocentric grass-root effort as contrasted with an anthropocentric approach to achieve an ecologically balanced future. Deep ecology embraces a deep approach by speaking about the intrinsic value of nature. In this connection, Naess advocates the principle of biospheric egalitarianism claiming equal moral worth of all beings, human and non-human alike. It is an approach of realising man’s position in the larger web of things. In practice, deep ecology is a movement which is concerned with the solution of grass-root social and political problems for an ecologically sustainable future. In principle, it upholds a holistic view of nature transcending the narrow ego-centric self that undertakes a thesis of Self-realization or identifying oneself with the greater ecological-Self. This work is a critical study of the deep ecology philosophy. The basic focus of this work, centres around the debate among the different schools of environmental philosophy, particularly, the criticism of deep ecology by social ecology.

Abstract

Trade and business have played a pivotal role in shaping the development of world’s economy and every home and individual is affected by it. The growth of every nation is largely controlled by its inherent capacity for smooth trade and business. Trade and Business contribute to the overall development of a nation by making a significant contribution in terms of tax revenues and providing lucrative employment. Thus, Trade and Business being such an important area of human concern cannot be given a free hand to govern and control the society. Business and trade are the potential forces of such a society endorsing peace and prosperity of every citizen provided they are properly steered. Therefore there is a need for a yardstick which would determine the worth and the depth of the business and trade policies. And, this yard-stick or standard by which we measure the reliability of the business and trade policies should be based on a solid philosophy. Due to the above, this research attempt to pinpoint the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, which I seek to unearth and recommend to the world of business and trade for the resolution of ethical conflicts.
