About This Collection

Deep ecology, environmental philosophy, and social movement is based in the belief that humans must radically change their relationship to nature from one that values nature solely for its usefulness to human beings to one that recognizes that nature has an inherent value.

The Call of the Mountain with Arne Naess on Deep Ecology

The 1997 Dutch documentary, "The Call of the Mountain: Arne Næss and the Deep Ecology Movement," directed by Jan van Boeckel, explores the philosophy of Norwegian thinker Arne Næss. This production delves into themes of ecology, environment, global awareness, and spirituality.

Næss, a pivotal figure in the late 20th-century environmental movement, coined the term "deep ecology." His vision was significantly influenced by Rachel Carson's 1962 book, *Silent Spring*. For further details, refer to the Foundation for Deep Ecology.
