    ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY

    Discipline that studies the moral relationship of human beings with the environment
    and its non-human contents.

    Philosophers believe that the human person can change the environment to suit his
    purposes. This means that as a human person, we interact not only with our fellow
    human beings but also with other living and non-living elements in our environment.

    Humankind is a part of the world, and we significantly affect our environment in the
    same way that changes in our environment affect us.
    THE ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE SYSTEMS
    Refers to how a person sees and values environmental
    concerns.

    Ecocentrism- places great value on ecosystems and


    biological communities. This view believes that
    humankind is part of a greater biological system or
    community and that we have a significant ROLE AS
    STEWARDS or guardians OF NATURE.

    “Nature-centered”
    THE ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE SYSTEMS
    Anthropocentrism- a philosophical perspective that
    puts human needs and interests to be of the highest
    value and importance.

    This view believes that humans are the most important


    species on the planet and they are free to transform
    nature and use its resources.

    “Human-centered”
    “Cornucopian point of view”
    THE ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE SYSTEMS

    TECHNOCENTRISM- This type of view believes that it can


    provide solutions to all environmental problems.
    Similar to anthropocentrism it is a worldview that
    conceives nature to present human beings.

    “Centered on Technology”

    Environmental problems can be solved through science


    and technology.
    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

    Meeting the needs of the present


    without compromising the needs of
    the future generation.

    Three ImportantPrinciples of Sustainability

    environment. This means that human activities should not disrupt
    the ecosystem and human communities located in the area.

    regarding the use of resources to ensure that there is minimum to
    zero waste.

    Prudence - the ability to regulate one’s actions and behavior.


    Frugality - being thrifty with the use of one’s resources.
    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

    1. Environmental integrity
    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
    3. Equity demands that we use our natural resources in such a manner that these
    are conserved so that the next generation will be able to use them.
