The Problem Is Not Anthropocentrism, It’s Anthropic Shortsightedness
Abstract
To cope with the disruption of the Earth system, several Business and Society scholars call for a move beyond anthropocentrism—value systems centered on human needs and wants. On the contrary, I contend that calling for “sight-corrected” anthropocentrism is better suited to mobilize and guide key economic actors toward much-needed change.
