Abstract
Anti-anthropocentricism has been a key idea of ecocriticism, which has brought into light such anti-anthropocentric ecocritical discourses as Roderick Nashs rights of nature. The animal rights movement and discourses can be understood as an application of Nashs theory into animals. According to the animal rights discourses, speciesism cannot be accepted in the same way as racism and sexism.

The rights of nature which are applied to non-human beings are placed ín one dimension and human fights which by definition exclusively cover human beings and their society are in another. The difference leads to significant issues, particularly in relation to the question of hunting and fishing. The dilemma of killing animals as friends and brothers is vividly portrayed and its resolution is meaningfully attempted in Ernest Hemingways The Old Man and the Sea and Aldo Leopolds Thinking Like a Mountain." In these two narratives, the possibility of going beyond the restricted anthropocentricism and into wild nature ìs suggested. Listening carefully to the words of the wild nature is required to step into wild nature. The significance of the language of wild nature can be grasped in Gary Snyders The Practice of the Wild, and its possibility of transcending the Western philosophical tradition is raised together with concrete examples in witi Ihimaeras The Whale Rider.
