Principles of Agrarianism
What, in your opinion, are the fundamental guiding principles of agrarianism as articulated by Wendell Berry?
Give us your own interpretation, not a restatement of what your classmates say or your guess at what your instructor thinks is “the right answer.”
Defend your interpretation with reference to the assigned Berry reading. In what ways is agrarianism a conservative alternative to the progressive vision of the green movement?
Why might traditional religious believers be more attracted to agrarianism than to deep ecology?
You might also spend some time describing the difference between conservative and progressive environmental positions and how the fundamental guiding principles of those groups align with the actions that they take in the world.
