I have seen convincing arguments against the usual terminology within the ecological movement that every conception of nature is made within society. But I see no possible way from this to declaring nature to be socially created. The views of Derrida cannot adequately be stated in such a few words, and his criteria for adequacy are probably different from mine, but some students who accept what they think Derrida basically means, also accept the 8 points of the deep ecology movement. Because of the richness of interpretations of assertions in postmodern philosophical literature, this is not very astonishing. Being is only an effect of meaning.
Meaning is an effect of cultures.
The cultural universe is a labyrinth. In seminars with academic philosophers who are classed as influenced by, and highly positive towards, Derrida, it is my experience that his sentences regularly can be transformed into more familiar ones. After all, the slogan to deconstruct is fairly general and is intended also to apply to postmodern texts when they seem to assert something. Zimmerman belongs to those supporters of the deep ecology movement who seriously study and look for important help from the works of philosophers who most philosophically concerned supporters do not expect can be of much help. I belong to this majority but am grateful that Zimmerman continues his endeavors.
