Ostensibly diverse and competing theoretical perspectives in sociology are alike in their shared anthropocentrism. From any of these perspectives, therefore, much contemporary and future social experience has to seem anomalous. Environmental sociologists attempt to understand recent societal changes by means of a nonanthropocentric paradigm. Because ecosystem constraints now pose serious problems both for human societies and for sociology, three assumptions quite different from the prevalent Human Exceptionalism Paradigm (HEP) have become essential. They form a New Environmental Paradigm (NEP). Sociologists who accept this New Environmental Paradigm have no difficulty appreciating the sociological relevance of variables traditionally excluded from sociology. The core of environmental sociology is, in fact t study of interactions between environment and society. Recent work by NEP-oriented sociologists on issues pertaining to social stratification exemplifies the utility of this paradigm.

Sosyolojideki görünüşte çeşitli ve rekabet halindeki teorik bakış açıları, ortak insan merkezciliklerinde benzerdir. Bu nedenle, bu perspektiflerden herhangi birinden, çağdaş ve gelecekteki sosyal deneyimlerin çoğu anormal görünmelidir. Çevre sosyologları, antroposentrik olmayan bir paradigma aracılığıyla son toplumsal değişiklikleri anlamaya çalışırlar. Ekosistem kısıtlamaları artık hem insan toplumları hem de sosyoloji için ciddi sorunlar oluşturduğundan, yaygın olan İnsan İstisnacılığı Paradigmasından (İİP) oldukça farklı üç varsayım gerekli hale geldi. Yeni bir Çevresel Paradigma (YÇP) oluştururlar. Bu Yeni Çevre Paradigmasını kabul eden sosyologlar, geleneksel olarak sosyolojiden dışlanan değişkenlerin sosyolojik uygunluğunu takdir etmekte zorluk çekmezler. Çevre sosyolojisinin özü, aslında çevre ve toplumarasındaki etkileşimlerin incelenmesidir. YÇP odaklı sosyologların sosyal tabakalaşmayla ilgili konulardaki son çalışmaları, bu paradigmanın faydasını örneklemektedir.
