This is why I believe in exposure burial personally but others don't have to go that far. #anthropocentrism #ecocentrism #communism #socialism #anarchism (6-end)

Not to mention they are relatives. Animals and humans have different roles relative to humanity but we are still very equal. And I personally believe that our roles are also equal but relative. #anthropocentrism #ecocentrism #communism #socialism #anarchism (5)

Look at all the videos of humans getting too close to bison and see what they do. We socially interact with nonhumans just like humans and that makes nonhumans members of the community and people with intrinsic value and rights. #anthropocentrism #ecocentrism #communism #socialism #anarchism (4)

They know of sex and have sex for pleasure just like we do. They engage in gay sex, threesomes, oral, and masturbation. Animals are fully capable of defending themselves. #anthropocentrism #ecocentrism #communism #socialism #anarchism (3)

They're perfectly capable of surviving without us, as we've observed. Animals are also not innocent and defenseless but knowledgeable and capable of defending themselves. They know of death. Elephants mourn their dead. #anthropocentrism #ecocentrism #communism #socialism #anarchism (2)

Nonhumans and humans are equals. Animals are born with instincts, drives, etc. that guide their decisions and make them fully capable of making their own decisions. They don't need us making their decisions for them. #anthropocentrism #ecocentrism #communism #socialism #anarchism (1)

Are these brains really superior to the rest of the animal kingdom? #brains #science #anthropocentrism

We’ve always said “Only we feel. Only we think. Only we count.” Then came AI. The essay “AI – Where” strips back the hierarchy we built to keep ourselves special—and asks what intelligence means when the face of it changes. 🧠🤖 ➤ https://philosophics.blog/2025/11/01/ai-and-the-end-of-where/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social

If dogs really had immortal souls, I doubt their first order of business would be narrating Hallmark fantasies for lonely humans. A Dog’s Purpose isn’t about dogs at all—it’s about insecure people's need for unconditional loyalty.

I have seen this quote in many places. I understand the sentiment, but it doesn't match my personal observations.
“When I criticize a system, they think I criticize them—and that is of course because they accept the system and identify themselves with it." - Thomas Merton

It's heartening to listen to #NaomiKlein and #AstraTaylor talk about solidarity and their vision of the future. We've all got work to do :)
I was delighted to hear Astra Taylor bring up #anthropocentrism - I have long held the theory that our #speciesist/human-supremacist approach to life on earth is the slippery slope that supports the categorisation and "othering" of humans based on race, religion and nationality. To put it in #carnist terms, once you develop a taste (for othering), you can't stop.

Throughout my childhood, I hated #StGeorge for having killed that cute #dragon. It was one of my first contacts with #biodiversityLoss and patriarchal #anthropocentrism. With this #embroidery, I took revenge. Long live the #dragons! Our world needs more cute #green beings. 🐉💚 #textileArt #fiberArts

#Anthropocentrism is so often unthinkingly assumed. Unquestioned and unchallenged. But it’s a deeply important choice. A bad one.

Community Efforts to Care for Animals During Climate Disasters:
Experiences and Recommendations from an Australian Bushfire Affected Region"Formal disaster prevention, preparation, risk management, and response remain highly anthropocentric, with non-human animals afforded minimal attention, resourcing, and support. This article reports on informal community efforts to care for non-human animals during and after the 2019/2020 “Black Summer” bushfires in Australia, when over three billion animals were killed, injured, or displaced."
"Key findings are that:
human communities understood and treated non-human animals as part of their communities; humans went to extraordinary lengths to care for and rescue animals; these efforts were largely invisible to, and unsupported—even condemned—by formal emergency management agencies. We conclude that human-centric emergency and disaster management policies are at odds with community values and behaviors. We argue that disaster management must evolve to accommodate and support the realities of community-based rather than individual-based approaches, and must simultaneously expand to consider communities as multispecies."

Land Back on the far south coast of NSW
"Heritage-listed property Plumwood Mountain has been officially handed back to the Walbunja people of the far south NSW coast. More than 250 years later, in a first for NSW, the Walbunja people have been handed back a 120-hectare heritage-listed private property at Monga, owned by the estate of the late environmental activist, academic and philosopher Val Plumwood."

"… Gaza is rapidly transformed into a dump, where high-rise buildings and human bodies, ecosystems … and orchards are mutilated beyond recognition and reduced to organic-inorganic rubble. A solidarity with dumpified lives, places, and worlds requires something other than compassion. So what could that be?"

Anthropocentric biases are pervasive, even among professional ethologists. Differences in perceptual abilities are deliberately left unmeasured and unreported in behavioural experiments.

"Ecosystem services" for ALL living beings
"Solving our current ecological and social crises requires a radical transformation of humanity's relationship to the global ecosystems that sustain all life."
At present there is government paralysis and "we keep voting in people who are OK with prolonging the use of fossil fuels, the very thing that is cooking our planet".
We have an egocentric approach to nature, despite knowing that without the environment, there's no economy.

💡 This month's #OpenAccess #publication in the spotlight:
"Casting #Justice Before Swine: Late #Mediaeval Pig #Trials as Instances of #Human #Exceptionalism"
Author Sven Gins delves into the historical context of animal trials in #premodern #Europe, shedding light on their significance in the broader discourse of #legal #personhood, particularly relevant in today's global #animal #law discussions. 🐖 🐌 🐬

Can #ecoentrism care seriously about non-human #sentient beings?
Maybe, but if "animals are still eaten [for human pleasure] & can still be killed in order to safeguard the balance of an ecosystem" then #ecocentrism is exposed as yet more #anthropocentrism

Dear Void… just an #introduction 👋🏻
I’m Hugo, a #philosophy and #law #gradstudent at #Stellenbosch Uni in South Africa. Currently working on my LLM thesis in the #legalphilosophy of #animallaw. Broadly, my research draws on #decolonial theory, #criticalanimalstudies , #ecofeminism , and #posthumanism to displace #anthropocentrism as a quasi-transcendental limit of legal discourse.
Other interests include #psychoanalysis #queertheory #litfic #poetry #architecture
Uhm yeah, see y’all around ✌🏻
