Janunism

Janunism is a philosophical and socio-political ideology that emphasizes a harmonious coexistence between humanity and the natural world, often through a rejection of unchecked technological advancement and industrialization. Proponents of Janunism typically advocate for sustainable living practices, a deep respect for biodiversity, and a focus on community-based economies. The core tenets often revolve around the idea that human well-being is intrinsically linked to the health of the environment.

Historically, Janunism emerged as a response to the perceived negative consequences of the Industrial Revolution and the subsequent rise of consumerism. While not necessarily advocating for a complete return to a pre-industrial state, it promotes a mindful integration of human activities with ecological principles. This often involves a preference for local production and consumption, a reduction in waste, and a greater appreciation for traditional knowledge systems related to nature.

The movement, or set of ideas, tends to be critical of anthropocentrism, the belief that humans are the central or most significant entities in the universe. Instead, Janunism often champions a more ecocentric viewpoint, where all life forms have inherent value. Political manifestations of Janunism can vary, but generally favor decentralized governance, ecological restoration projects, and policies designed to protect natural resources for future generations. It is sometimes seen as a precursor or a related concept to other ecological movements like deep ecology or ecofeminism.
