Abstract
This thesis explores two facets of the ancient Daoist world view and Heideggerian phenomenology. It then explores the relationship of these facets to Deep Ecology. The facets in question are: (a) a way of looking at the world without thematic lenses and (b) the ethical and normative content that comes from that perspective. Deep Ecology assumes a re-examination of the relationship between humans and the non-human world while situating itself within a normative framework. This thesis argues the facets of Daoism and Heideggerian phenomenology are constitutive of a proper foundation for Deep Ecology, i.e. they provide the basis for the re-examination and detail a normative framework.
