The Human Person in the Environment


“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of a main.”
-English poet, John Donne

This means that as human persons, we interact NOT only with our fellow Human Beings but
also with other LIVING and NON- LIVING elements in our environment.

Humankind is part of the world, and we significantly affect our environment in the same way
that changes in our environment affect us.

How does philosophy define the person’s relationship with the environment?

Environmental Philosophy or Environmental Ethics


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

Discuss:
1. Look around your community and school. Can you see evidence of changes in the
environment caused by people? Describe these changes.
2. Can you see evidence of people adapting their activities to your school or local
environment?
3. Which part of your community or school do you consider most orderly?
Which part is most disorderly?
4. How is pollution affected your health and well- being? How it affected the well- being of
your family and the community?

The three (3) major views regarding the relationship between humanity and the environment:

1. Anthroponcentrism
Focuses on the significant role of humankind in the world and consider nature as the means
by which humans are able to meet their needs and survive.
2. Biocentrism
Believes that humans are not the only significant species on the planet and that all organisms
have inherent value and should be protected.
3. Ecocentrism

Places great value on ecosystems and biological communities.


Environmental Aesthetics
- one philosophical view believes that maintaining order in the environment will bring out
the natural beauty of the surroundings and contribute to the well-being of the people and
other organisms living in it.

How can humanity address the damage inflicted on the environment?


Environmentalism- the perspective that advocates to address the growing
environmental problems.
 Discusses environmental problems caused by human activities and social issues that
impact the environment.

 Serves as a basis for reflecting on how our actions show our regard for nature.

 Also guides us in upholding the welfare of the environment and everything on it.

 Encourages governments, institutions, organizations and corporations to commit to


responsible action for the environment.

Environmental Ethics – is a moral approach that analyzes the relationship between


humans and the environment.
 Emerged in the 1970s, advocating human responsibility and action with regard to
environmental issues.

It’s main ideas are the following:


 All nonhuman elements of the world, including animals and natural resources, have
intrinsic value and should be preserved.
 Preservation of the environment will benefit humans by providing for the needs of
present and future generations.
 Humankind has a responsibility to safeguard the planet as stewards of creation.
 Environmental Ethics has resulted in the development of varied views:
Social Ecology
- applies an ecological and ethical approach in analyzing society and sees a relationship
between social and environmental problems.

Society should implement changes in order to address issues regarding the environment.

Environmental justice- refers to fair distribution of environmental benefits as well as the


burden of meeting environmental challenges.
Kyoto Protocol in 1997- a significant development where various nations committed to
reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order to curb global warming.
 instituted Earth Day celebration
Earth Day- is a global effort to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire action
among communities.
The Philippines is a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol and our government has enacted law to
address environmental problems that contribute to global warming such as:
1. Clean Air Act of 1999
2. Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 and
3. Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act

D. Application

Analyze the ff. situations and determine which of them show the right or moral choice with
regard to the environment.
Discuss your thoughts in class:
1. A mining corporation decided to save costs and did not construct an effective storing
facility for mining waste. The improperly stored waste leaked and polluted the nearby river,
poisoned marine life and caused people in the nearby village to get sick.
2. A businessman bought a large piece of farmland and decided to convert it into a
subdivision. During the construction, hundreds of trees were uprooted and streams were
covered in cement.
3. A local official led a campaign to set aside several hectares of forested land in their city as
watershed area. This area was declared Off- limits to loggers and miners.
4. An animal shelter partnered with the local government to conduct free vaccination drives
for pets. The shelter also coordinates with local police to address cases involving animal
cruelty.
Sustainability- a concept focuses on reconciling human activities and economic development
with the protection of the environment.

3 Important Principles:

1. Environmental integrity
- Refers to maintaining the state of the environment.
-means human activities should not unduly disrupt the ecosystems and human
Communities located in the are.

2. Economic Efficiency
- Refers to the prudence in decision-making regarding the use of resources to ensure that
there is minimum to zero waste
3. Equity- demands the use of natural resources in such a manner that these are conserved so
that the next generation will be able to use them. The values of prudence and frugality can
guide us in our own personal use of resources.

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


Frugality- is being thrifty with the use on one’s resources.

Contemporary - a whole life satisfaction.

Ancient greek philosophy considers happiness as an achievement and it must be g


gained by living a productive and moral life.

Noble good
-is one which is pursued for its own sake; it is good in itself.
ex. Love & friendship

Useful good
-is considered good so long as it serves as a means to an end; its goodness is found only from
what it can provide. Money

Pleasurable good
-is good so long as it provides some form of pleasure, though it does not have to be physical.
What kinds of goods have you been pursuing lately? How do these contribute to your well-
being and happiness?

Suffering takes place when we patiently endure unpleasantness, discomfort and pain.
Physical suffering
Mental suffering
