Humankind or Nature? Panel on Anthropocentrism and Its Role in Environmental Decay

Is anthropocentrism driving eco-decay? Join leading scholars to debate how human-first beliefs fuel nature's exploitation and shape today's eco-ideological research.
Date: 13 October 2026, 16:00—17:30
Venue: Corvinus University of Budapest, Building C, 4.426
Language of the event: English
Anthropocentrism offers a particular order of human-nature relationships that privileges humans and contributes to the legitimization of the exploitation of nature. Its importance in public discourse is often underestimated, while material explanations and rhetoric have become more readily accepted. Come and join leading scholars as we discuss and debate anthropocentrism’s role and relevance in eco-ideological research and environmental decay.
