And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

ecosophy

"Guattari holds that traditional environmentalist perspectives obscure
the complexity of the relationship between humans and their natural
environment through its maintenance of the dualistic separation of
human (cultural) and nonhuman (natural) systems; he envisions ecosophy
as a new field with a monistic and pluralistic approach to such study.
Ecology in the Guattarian sense then, is a study of complex phenomena,
including human subjectivity, the environment, and social relations,
all of which are intimately interconnected. Despite this emphasis on
interconnection, throughout his individual writings and more famous
collaborations with Gilles Deleuze Guattari has resisted calls for
holism, preferring to emphasise heterogeneity and difference,
synthesising assemblages and multiplicities in order to trace
rhizomatic structures rather than creating unified and, holisitic
structures." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosophy
