**STRONG Anthropocentrism** Typically, those philosophers that concern themselves with sustainability, either exclusively or as a primary focus, can be classified as strong anthropocentrics, as they commonly consider only the human aspects of the justice, classification, and understanding of “sustainability” in theory, practice, and policy. In contrast to Sustainability Ethics, Social Ecologists like Mary Bookchin are concerned the social, economic, and political systems that cause environmental and other social problems and thus are more concerned with systems than with policies. Concern for social/economic hierarchies, “domineering” market systems, and racist/fascist social tendencies, Social Ecologists look at the broad social and economic system, and ways it might effectively be changed.

 * Ideally this page should cover the "strong" and "weak" versions of APC along with subdivisions and disputes within each (especially within weak-APC - ie, the differences between Hargrove and Norton). **


 * I could not find any "strong" or "weak" APC SYNTHESIS statements here! **
