How did the world come into being?


How can we explain the process of change?

Eastern sages probed natures depths


influence through the eyes of spiritual
sages, while Greek thinkers viewed
nature through cognitive and scientific
eyes (Price 2000).

The speculations of the pre-Socratic


philosophers represents a paradigm
shift-a change from the mythical
explanation of the origins of the cosmos
to a more rational explanation.

Socratic philosophers do represent the


first intellectual and scientific attempt is
understand the origins of the universe.

Anthropocentric Model, humans are superior and central to the universe.


Ecocentric Model, the ecological or relational integrity of the humans, it provides meaning
of our Morals and Values.
Ecological positioning occurs in the past, present, and future, and their environmental
settings with regard to our identifications, relations and attachments in about, with or for
various natures (Payne 2009).

Classrooms cannot set aside the importance of aesthetics as well as the environment that suggests
that valuing that include:
- Aesthetic appreciation, enjoyment, relaxation, satisfaction, calm, peace, social interaction, growth
toward holism, and self-understanding.

Our limited understanding of our environment opens for a need for philosophical investigation of
nature, applying aesthetic and theological dimensions, as well as appreciating our philosophical
reflections with the concept of nature itself.

The domination of humanity is linked to the


domination of nature based on the
anthropocentric model.
An unfair utilization of the environment result to
ecological crisis.
Humans adopt an exploitative attitude whenever
nature is merely considered as an instrument for
ones profit.
Current researches byZimmerman (1994), Elgin (2009), and Pettman (2012) to name a few,
exposed the environmental consequences of international politico economics specializations for
both abuses of natural resources and of the generation of wastes and emissions.
Studies reveal that the higher the income, there is a substantial change in consumption
patterns, which result to higher CF

Nature is not valued for the future survival of human species is per se, but is invaluable in itself. For
instance, humans have a responsibility toward the land. However, because of the anthropocentric attitude,
humanity claims ownership or authority over land
If humanity overworks the soil and substitute domesticated species of plants and animals for wild
ones, human made changes threaten the health of nature.
A study blames human activities for drastic decline in wildlife population
The study for instance, established that the damage is not inevitable but a consequence of our
choices.
Humanity needs to develop an ecological conscience based on individual responsibility.
Adopt a lifestyle that involves simple living that honors the right of all life forms to live, flourish,
and create a rich diversity of human and non-human life.
In 2004, indigenous grandmothers held a meeting to be able to preserve their community. Deeply
concerned with the destruction of Mother Earth, including the contamination of air, water and
soil, war poverty, and destruction of the indigenous way of life.
The 2001 United Nations Declaration grants the indigenous people the right to conservation,
restoration, and protection of the total environment and the productive capacity of their lands,
territories, and resources, as well as the assistance for this purpose from States and through
international cooperation.
The relationship of the indigenous people with the environment is, thus spiritually and mentally
strengthened (Ramiscal 2013)
