Arne Næss (January 27, 1912 – January 12, 2009) was a Norwegian philosopher and a key figure in the environmental movement of the late 20th century. He coined the term 'deep ecology' and was influenced by Rachel Carson's 1962 book, 'Silent Spring.' Næss advocated for nonviolent action, inspired by Gandhi, and critiqued the shallow understandings of environmental issues prevalent in post-war Western societies. He believed that the environmental crisis stemmed from unrecognized philosophical assumptions in modern societies, emphasizing the importance of recognizing biodiversity and the interconnectedness of all living beings.
