At the heart of Arne Næss’ philosophy is a profound truth: all life holds intrinsic value. Human cultures, he understood, must see themselves not as separate from nature, but embedded themselves into the various ecologies inside this biosphere. Næss challenged the idea that success lies in material growth and consumption. Instead, he championed a simpler, richer life—one rooted in community, joy, direct nature experiences, and meaningful purpose. The Arne Næss Foundation carries this vision forward, spreading the principles of deep ecology and sustainable living. By fostering a society that honors our interconnectedness, we work to preserve the diversity of life for generations to come.
