Conceptual convergence Between Gandhian Environmental Philosophy and Arne Naess 's Deep Ecology: A comparative Analysis.

Author(s) Ms. Anupam Gautam

Abstract Contemporary environmental crises have intensified the search for Ethical and philosophical approaches capable of redefining the relationship between human beings and nature
In this context, Mahatma Gandhi's environmental philosophy and Arne Naess 's Deep Ecology have emerged as two influential traditions advocating ecological responsibility and non-violence and sustainable living. This review paper examines the conceptual convergence and key differences between these two traditions through a thematic review and comparative analytical approach. The analysis identifies five major areas of convergence first the intrinsic unity and moral worth of all life second self-realization and interconnectedness third co-existence and the the equal right of living beings to live and flourish fourth simplicity, minimalism and sustainable living and fifth decentralized and ecologically sustainable models of development. At the same time, this study highlights important philosophical differences regarding their metaphysical foundations, the ethical role of human beings and the broader objectives of environmental transformation. This review argues that despite these differences Gandhian Environmental Philosophy and Deep Ecology provide complementary ethical perspectives that challenge anthropocentrism and consumer -oriented models of development. Their combined insights offer a valuable framework for promoting Ecological Justice, sustainability and harmonious co-existence between human beings and the natural world.
Keywords Mahatma Gandhi,Arne Naess, Deep Ecology, Environmental Philosophy, Ecological Ethics, Self- realization, Sustainable living, Ecological Justice.
