Abstract/Summary
With an ever-present threat of climate change, scientists have repeatedly warned us of its effects. However, this call for change has mixed responses from humankind. People either ignore these or they choose not to act on these because they ask too much from them. This study argues that this inability of humans to respond to the call for change, both in lifestyle and in of thinking is human indifference which, in turn, is the result of the prevalent subject-object dualism. This study is drawn from the contribution of Arne Naess, especially his deep ecology philosophy which tries to eradicate this form of dualism. However, as much as deep ecology tries to eradicate the prevalent dichotomy between humans and the environment this study further claims that Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel’s concept of Geist can also contribute to studying further deep ecology philosophy which has provided justification for deep ecology.
