Chapter 1 is don’t cheat
My interpretations are that:
- Neg must defend resource extraction:
2. Neg can’t have conditional arguments:
3. Neg can’t have a plan inclusive advocacy:
4. Neg kritiks must prove how my specific instance is bad—
5. Aff gets RVIs on I meets
6. If neg wins a violation on T, don’t drop the debater, and re-evaluate the argument under new interp:
Voters because: - fairness
2. education
Prefer reasonable aff interp and prefer aff theory over neg theory
Chapter 2 is Framework
- Environmental Protection necessitates resisting an anthropocentric framework; valuing nature is a prerequisite to real change
Katz and Oechsli 93 (Eric, Vice President of the International Society for Environmental Ethics, and Lauren, Biology at Columbia, Environmental Ethics, vol 15 no 1, 1993 “Moving beyond Anthropocentrism: Environmental Ethics, Development, and the Amazon”)
Can an environmentalist
AND
moment at least.
2. Thus the role of the ballot is to resist anthropocentrism. Critical pedagogy needs to challenge the human sphere—not doing so supports an educational practice that sustains anthropocentric ordering of world; resisting anthropocentrism is a prerequisite for any other critical pedagogy
Bell and Russell 2K (Anne C. by graduate students in the Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University and Constance L. a graduate student at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Beyond Human, Beyond Words: Anthropocentrism, Critical Pedagogy, and the Poststructuralist Turn, http://www.csse-scee.ca/CJE/Articles/FullText/CJE25-3/CJE25-3-bell.pdf)//RSW
So far, however
AND
moment at least.
3. Anthropocentric epistemology is flawed—it takes human primacy as a given while ignoring the implications of this viewpoint
Bell and Russell, 2K (Anne C. by graduate students in the Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University and Constance L. a graduate student at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Beyond Human, Beyond Words: Anthropocentrism, Critical Pedagogy, and the Poststructuralist Turn, http://www.csse-scee.ca/CJE/Articles/FullText/CJE25-3/CJE25-3-bell.pdf)
For this reason
AND
anthropocentrism passes unchallenged. 1
4. The validity of one’s method of knowledge is critically important—if you have a false understanding of the problem, your solution will fail. Thus, epistemology comes logically prior to all other parts of the debate
Smith ’96 Steve, Professor of International Politics at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, “Positivism and Beyond,” International theory: Positivism and beyond, New York: Cambridge University Press, 12-1 3
But the stakes
AND
be the case.
Thus, if an affirmative ballot has even a risk of solving the flawed epistemology, then you vote aff because epistemology comes first.
5. Any framework that makes decisions based on human wants is anthropocentric- its myopic viewpoint and means of valuation ONLY include human considerations, which is detrimental to the environment and non-humans.
Katz, 97 Eric, New Jersey Institute of Technology, 1997 (Nature As Subject: Human Obligation and Natural Community)
I argue that
AND
the preservationist argument.
6. Depictions of human death and extinction don’t matter—Nature has value and must be preserved even in the event of human extinction
Keekok Lee, Visiting Chair in Philosophy at Lancaster University, 99
The Natural and the Artefactual p. 175
- The genesis of
AND
independent of us.
7. Discourse doesn’t shape reality
Roskoski and Peabody, Asst. General Counsel at Latham and Watkins, 94
(Matthew, Joe, 26 Oct 1994, Florida State University, “A Linguistic and Philosophical Critique of Language ‘Arguments’”, http://debate.uvm.edu/Library/DebateTheoryLibrary/RoskoskiandPeabody-LangCritiques, RJ)
Initially, it is
AND
of a few words.1
Chapter 3 is the Advocacy
- Resource extraction entrenches the ideals of anthropocentrism and detaches us from the environment
Berry 95 (Thomas, Ph.D. from the Catholic University of America in European intellectual history “The viable human” in Deep Ecology for the 21st Century, ed. George Sessions)
Ecologists recognize that
AND
any natural object.
2. These flawed methods of knowledge are the root cause of all social and ecological crises and alienation; returning to ecocentrism is key
Nayeri 13(Kamran Nayeri, Researcher¶ UC Berkeley¶ Political Economist¶ University of California¶ Political Economist¶ South Bay Mobilization¶ Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, http://philosophersforchange.org/2013/10/29/economics-socialism-ecology-a-critical-outline-part-2/)
Of course, it
AND
the capitalist system.
3. Anthropocentrism normalizes genocide and oppression
D’amato and Chopra, 91 (The American Journal International Law, 85 A.J.I.L. 21, Anthony, member of the board of Editors of the Journal, and Sudhir, staff attorney for the EPA)
Thus, a combination
AND
to life- whales.
Thus I advocate that developing countries adopt deep ecology
4. Endorsing deep ecology breaks out of the anthropocentric mindset and allows the environment to flourish
Katz 2000 (Eric, assoc. professor of philosophy at New Jersey Institute of Technology. “Against the inevitability of Anthropocentrism,” in ¶ Beneath the Surface: Critical Essays in the Philosophy of Deep Ecology, edited by Eric Katz, Andrew Light and David Rothenberg, p. 21) ¶
Deep ecology values
AND
the natural world.
5. Only deep ecology can provide a framework for change by questioning humanity’s relationship with the environment
Naess 86 (Arne, Norwegian philosopher and the founder of deep ecology. Former professor at the University of Oslo, founder of the deep ecology movement. “The deep ecology movement some philosophical aspects” in Deep Ecology for the 21st Century, ed. George Sessions)
The decisive difference
AND
important premise/conclusion relations.
6. Advocacy is topical because deep ecology is environmental protection
Taylor and Zimmerman (Bron Taylor, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh ¶ Michael Zimmerman, Tulane University, http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/bron/pdf~-~-christianity/Taylor+Zimmerman~-~-Deep20Ecology.pdf)
