Hello my dear learners, how are you
today?
2
Let’s now
discuss about
the
environment.
ENVIRONMENT
It is a place of interaction where it plays a vital role in shaping our identity and
personality.
It is the complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors that act upon an organism or
an ecological community and ultimately determine its form and survival.
The environment is something you are very familiar with. It's everything that makes
up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the earth, the air we breathe, the
water that covers most of the earth's surface, the plants and animals around us, and
much more.
PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH
How we react on the environment.
How we accept things.
How to deal with changes.
How to adapt to the system.
How to build foundations of understanding.

below and be ready to answer the
activities on the succeeding pages.
Goodluck!
ECOLOGY branch of biology that deals with the relationship of organism to one another
and to their physical surrounding.
ECOLOGIST is a scientist who studies the interaction of living things and its environment.
ERNST HAECKEL
o According to Haeckel (1866), ecology refers to the scientific analysis of the
interaction between animals, plants and their inorganic environment. Put simply,
ecology deals with the balance of nature. Since nature includes human persons,
ecology also encompasses the study of the human person’s role in her/his
environment.
1. DEEP ECOLOGY
o It was coined by Arne Naess and his colleagues Sigmund Kvaloy and Nils Faarlund
in 1973. Deep ecology affirms the principle that all things in the world have their
intrinsic value. This means that no matter how small or big the things that surround
us, they possess some kind of intrinsic value which is important in creating balance in
nature.
o In deep ecology, humans need to see the environment and all living things not as
means for survival, but as “partners” or co-equals in the preservation life.
6
o Deep ecology provides us with the idea that our environment is an integral part to our
existence. It is an undeniable fact that we are too much dependent on our natural
resources for our daily subsistence.
ECOLOGICAL SELF
o It is the idea of one that is mature, sensitive and caring towards the environment.
2. SOCIAL ECOLOGY
o As a theory, it was developed by Murray Bookchin, who is an American anarchist and
environmentalist. According to Bookchin (1982), social ecology provides an analysis
of the patterns and forms of interrelationships between the human person and her
environment.
o Steven Best (1998), social ecology is considered as the most powerful and
comprehensive environmental philosophy ever developed since it offers a powerful
alternative to liberalism, marxism, postmodern and ecological theories like
ecofeminism and deep ecology.
o Social ecology claims that all environmental problems that we are experiencing at
present are social problems which are rooted in the disharmony of relationship
between human beings and nature, where human beings have controlled nature for
their own personal interests.
3. TRANSPERSONAL ECOLOGY
o Transpersonal ecology explains the tripartite aspects of human self which gives us
the theoretical basis of our attitude towards our environment.
o As suggested by the transpersonal ecologists, we have to understand not just the
importance of the environment to us, but our role in the life’s cycle. In that way, we
are able to anchor our decisions in accordance to moral norms and to natural laws.
o Warwick Fox is an ecologist who developed the transpersonal ecology in 1990. He
attempted to develop further the concept of deep ecology which borrows the main
concept of deep ecology that humans and the environment are partners or co-equals in
the preservation of life.
Good Job my dear learners,
continue the learning process on
the next page in connection to
the idea of Human Self.

ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS
This is a moral approach that analyzes the relationship between humans and
the environment. It also talks about environmental problems and human
accountabilities and actions.
Environmental ethics is the discipline in philosophy that studies the moral
relationship of human beings to, and also the value and moral status of,
the environment and its non-human contents
Environmental ethics deals with issues related to the rights of individuals that
are fundamental to life and well-being. This concerns not only the needs of
each person today, but also those who will come after us. It also deals with the
rights of other living creatures that inhabit on earth.
ETHICS
or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that "involves systematizing,
defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior.
