Article by William Grey, trying more to defend anthropocentrism rather than bury it completely http://www.uq.edu.au/~pdwgrey/pubs/anthropocentrism.html

"we should be concerned to promote a rich, diverse, and vibrant biosphere. Human flourishing may certainly be included as a legitimate part of such a flourishing." (anthropocentrism and deep ecology. william grey)

anthropocentrism need not necessarily be rejected, as is the case in most deep ecological literature, however; the anthropocentric notion needs to be extended beyond short-term thinking and into long-term goal-oriented.

believers of an anthropocentric view feel as though the environment is theirs to rightfully use in their own benefits.

this view is one that most environmentalists may not accept.

Human exceptionalism?? take out? or merge?
