3. What is a Human Person?
• A human person is a living being that contains a
real and existing to direct its own development
toward fulfillment through perfect, unconditional,
and infinite Truth, Love, Goodness, Beauty, and
Unity, and will do so if all the proper conditions are
met.

4. • Environment The sum total of all surroundings of a
living organism, including natural forces and other
living things, which provide conditions for
development and growth as well as of danger and
damage.

5. WHAT IS THE WORLD MADE OF?
HOW DID THE WORLD COME

6. • Those are philosophical questions brought up
approximately 600 B.C.E in the Western Ionian seaport
town of Miletus across the Aegean sea from Athens,
Greece.The speculation of the pre-Socratic
philosophers represent a paradigm shift– a change
from mythical explanation of the origins of the cosmos
to a more rational explanation.Eastern sages probed
nature’s depths intuitively through the eyes of spiritual
sages which Greek thinkers viewed nature trough
cognitive and scientific eyes (Price 2000). This thinkers
were looking for the underlying laws of nature. They
wanted to understand the processes of nature by
studying nature itself, not by listening to the stories
about the gods.

8. Ecocentric Model Ecocentric model, the ecological or relational
integrity of the humans provides meaning of our morals and values
and it is nature centered. Devoted to preserving the totality of Earth’s
biodiversity and the functioning of it’s life-supporting system.There are
three theories about the Ecocentric Model such as Deep Ecology,
Social Ecology and Ecofeminism.
14. Deep Ecology Is an ecological philosophy developed by Norwegian
philosopher Arne Naess in the early 1970’s asserting that all life forms
have an equal right to exist, and human needs and desires have no
priority over those of other organisms. Believes that the living
environment should be respected and regarded as having rights to
flourish, independent of its utility to humans.
15. Social Ecology It is a critical social theory founded by American
anarchist and libertarian socialist author Murray Bookchin.
Conceptualized as a critique of current social, political, and anti-
ecological trends, it espouses a reconstructive, ecological,
communitarian, and ethical approach to society.

9. • Social Ecology It is a critical social theory founded
by American anarchist and libertarian socialist
author Murray Bookchin. Conceptualized as a
critique of current social, political, and anti-
ecological trends, it espouses a reconstructive,
ecological, communitarian, and ethical approach to
society.

10. • Ecofeminism It is also called ecological feminism,
branch of feminism that examines the connections
between women and nature. Its name was coined
by French feminist Francoise d’Eaubonne in 1974. A
philosophical idea that combines feminism and
ecology concerns, emphasizing that both suffer
from their treatment by a male dominated society.
Comes from the idea that women and nature have
significant connection, since women most often
have a close association with nature in many
societies due to the nature of their traditional roles.

11. • Anaximander a pre-Socratic philosopher and
scientist said about the Creation-Destruction.
According to him, the sketch of the genesis of the
world (cosmology), the evolution of the world
begins with the generation of opposites in a certain
region Nature. Nature is indeterminate-boundless
in the sense that no boundaries between the warm
and or the moist and dry regions are originally
present within.

12. • While, according to Pythagoras, ‘universe is a living
embodiment of nature’s order, harmony and
beauty.’ He sees our relationship with the universe
involving biophilia (love of other living things) And
cosmophilia (love of other living beings).

13. • For Modern Thinker, Immanuel Kant, ‘beauty is
ultimately a symbol of morality (goodness). He
believes that the orderliness of nature and the
harmony of nature with our faculties guide us
toward a deeper religious perspective.’

14. • Herbert Marcuse said about the power of humans
over nature, while George Herbert Mead tackled
about our duties and responsibilities in nature.

15. • Our environment is created for every humans, so
you as good as one being must take Good care of
nature! Remember LIFE is all about BALANCE.
