This ongoing study is an investigation of the values imparted on the ecological world and the interplay between anthropocentric and eco-centric perspectives as manifested in Allan Sealy’s fiction The Everest Hotel. The anthropocentric viewpoint places human needs and values at the forefront. Anthropocentrism believes that humans are the most important or central entity in the world. It places humans above nature, viewing the environment mainly in terms of how it benefits humans. whereas the eco-centric viewpoint highlights the inherent value of all life forms and ecosystems. Eco-centrism is the belief that nature has intrinsic value, independent of its usefulness to humans. It places the ecosystem as a whole (plants, animals, water, land, and humans) at the centre of moral concern. Literature acts as a dialogic arena where these contrasting ideologies engage, critique, and evolve and this research presents the argument that environmental literature operates dialectically, not simply opposing these worldviews but rather synthesizing them into a more comprehensive ecological awareness that harmonizes human and non-human world.
