Hypothesis & Research Outline // Charlene Sequeira // Directed Research // Summer 2012

Hello!This thesis presents the hypothesis that

and needs to be re-defined through a biocentric lens (where all forms of life have

intrinsic value and are worthy of equal moral consideration).

This will lead to the creation of new value systems

that promote environmental restoration at the heart of every social endeavor.

These new value systems would thus become the building blocks for

a more effective and participatory model of sustainable development.

This thesis presents the hypothesis that the concept of sustainability is flawed and needs

to be re-defined through a biocentric lens (where all forms of life have intrinsic value and are worthy of equal moral consideration). This will lead to the creation of new value systems

that promote environmental restoration at the heart of every social endeavor. These new value systems would thus become the building

blocks for a more effective and participatory model of sustainable development.
