dc.description.abstract<p>A number of philosophical perspectives, such as deep ecology, posthumanism, and new materialisms, to name a few, have challenged the deep-rooted anthropocentric assumptions about human exceptionalism. Yet these non-anthropocentric perspectives must still find a place for human action; they require clear conceptualisations of human action and agency. It is generally acknowledged that human beings have a weighty moral responsibility for correcting the current global ecological crisis. For more than two millennia, theories of <em>praxis</em> supplied conceptualisations of action for the good of humankind. In this paper, we argue that the non-anthropocentric perspectives can be substantially extended and enhanced by a new theory of <em>transformative praxis</em> that breaks through the anthropocentric limit imposed by the notion of ‘the good for humankind’ to embrace collective human action for <em>planetary well-being</em>. We call this approach <em>a praxis orientation to environmental education.</em><br></p>
