Radical Ecology is a philosophical and political movement that seeks to address environmental issues by challenging the underlying social, economic, and political structures that contribute to ecological degradation. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life forms and advocates for deep systemic change rather than superficial reforms. Proponents of Radical Ecology often critique industrial capitalism and advocate for alternative lifestyles that promote sustainability and ecological balance. Influential figures in this movement include Arne Naess, who introduced the concept of Deep Ecology, and Murray Bookchin, known for his ideas on social ecology.
