The term ecology was coined by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel in 1866. That in itself is westernish lol
I suspect we aren't using common terms here though. Are you referring more to
natural science? I don't really think of that in terms of Western" or "non-Western" either, tbh.
Science in itself, whatever subclass defined, doesn't have to to be ecologically destructive. Environmental science is a very western science. Ergonomics is a western science. Ecology itself is usually considered a branch of biology, the general science that studies living organisms. I'd say that's rather westernish as well.
I just think it's in the applications of science (regardless of subclass), not the theory of it, where problems lie.
