A lexicon for making sense of ecosophy—our philosophical inquiry into the wisdom of living well in our terrestrial home.
Welcome to the grokkist’s guide to ecosophy, a glossary woven from the ideas, thinkers, and concepts that shape our exploration of ecosophy—a term that, at its root, means “home-wisdom.” Originally coined by Arne Naess in the context of Deep Ecology and later reinterpreted by Félix Guattari, we adopt it here as the most precise formulation of what this course is about: cultivating wisdom (sophia) about our shared earthly home (ecos).
This glossary accompanies the Ecosophy course, a journey through philosophy, ethics, and ecological thought—where ancient wisdom and contemporary critique converge to help us reimagine our relationship with the world. Here, you’ll find key concepts unpacked and connected, from absurdism to panpsychism, technologism to Deep Ecology. Some of these terms are cornerstones of eco-philosophy, others are provocations—threads that tug at assumptions and invite deeper inquiry.
From “Absurdism” and “Animism” through “Holon” and “Organicism” to “Utilitarianism” and “Virtue Ethics“
