Definition

Ecosophy AS is the source-local ecosophy of Ashes and Snow and the Nomadic Library. The earlier essay develops it through its artistic and philosophical cornerstones, taking Næss’s personally situated Ecosophy T as a precedent for multiple possible ecosophies. AS names this project’s ecological orientation rather than Næss’s own doctrine, a generic corporate label or the later books’ complete Enactive Ecosophy framework.

Explanation

The essay moves from concern for animal life toward deep ecology and its attempt to think beyond an exclusively human-centered utility. Its summary of ecocentrism is mediated through O’Riordan’s table and Rothenberg’s introductory discussion in Næss, as the native endnotes show. Those source routes should not disappear into an undifferentiated attribution of every listed position to Næss.

Ecosophy T is linked to Tvergastein and to a personal route of feeling and reasoning. The essay takes this plurality as permission to articulate the ecosophy proper to Ashes and Snow, rather than simply renaming T. Its practical ecological example also stresses concrete consideration rather than an automatic rule to intervene or abstain in every case.

The later project develops Enactive Ecosophy as responsible world-making through viable, plural and corrigible regimes. That development offers a related ecological orientation but does not retroactively make every sentence of the earlier art essay identical with the later framework. The proposed entry retains AS as the named artistic project’s specific philosophical articulation.
