Arendt's conception of culture could supersede claims that nature's intrinsic value or human interests best ground environmental ethics. Fusing ancient Greek notions of non-instrumental value and Roman concerns for cultivating and preserving worldly surroundings, culture supplies an ethic for the treatment of nonhuman things. Unlike a system of philosophical propositions, an Arendtian ecology could only arise in public deliberation, since culture's qualitative judgements are intrinsically linked to processes of political persuasion.
Cet article, après avoir restitué succinctement le contexte historique de l’écologie politique, en avoir rappelé les racines, propose une typologie des écologies politiques. Le premier courant apparaît dès la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’écologie malthusienne. Une place particulière est attribuée à l’écologie arcadienne à laquelle on a tendance à réduire l’ensemble de l’écologie politique. Les autres courants sont les suivants, les écologies : autoritaire, institutionnaliste, catastrophiste, grassroots, constructiviste et anarchiste.
