Philosophy and the Environment Environmentalismus and education for
the future Wieslaw Sztumski Schlesi Universitä t in Katowice (pole
and) ABSTRACT: There is here sketches OF A child environmental
philosophy (the Environmentalismus), the ecological style OF thinking
and the adequate human submitted. Thesis conceptions sit down together
on A new philosophical current, which CAN lead into the future ton the
civilization OF the life and ton the rem oval OF the more danger for
getting over one children. For its structure it is tons transformed
necessarily the rationalistic szientistische Bewubtsein OF the west
culture radikel, in order ton adapt it ton the new historical
requirements. Only due ton the new Bewubtseins and new philosophy
educating system CAN develop, into which the NEXT generation grow UP,
which become earth fair on that on new Forderung-das the protection OF
getting over one children and the life generally. 1. A
strand moment into the evolution OF the people impact RK the turn OF
the second millenium one child is guessed/advised in A strand moment OF
the evolution, which as A critical POINT CAN regarded. (1) Its
seltsamkeit consists OF the fact that in A time critical and/or
crisisful situation collapsed themselves due ton the technical and
cultural development. Into our times one has ton of DO evenly with A
coupling from three serious global crises ton, with the ecological,
socialcultural and persönlichkeitlich mentally. Therefore material
endangerments appeared fü r the existence OF the people impact RK one
time into the outside (naürlichen, social and cultural) and inside
(religious) environment. The cooperation and overlay OF thesis threats
CAN cause inevitably A premature case OF one child. Ton of RKs the
earliest one clarified the threat OF the global ecological crisis
within the rank OF natural environment, because the unfavorable CHANGEs
tons leichtestens acres tons recognized here. They give ton know
directly from itself tons into the form OF the nature damage,
environmental contamination and increasing degradation OF the
biological living conditions, which affect the state OF health OF
humans negatively. Thesis things acres generally wave known and from
ecologists verö ffentlicht. Frightening DATA more over drastically
worsening ecological parameter of acres submitted into the wave known
report OF many internationally institution. Later and less the
threats became bewuss t, which acres connected with negative CHANGEs
into the social and cultural environments. Here, mostly from political
and ideological Grü of acres communicated the phenomena, which show
the degradation OF the social living conditions OF humans, DO emergency
nden consciously. Only since short the "social ecology" developed,
which concerns itself with the research that for the social life
unfavorable features into the macro social measure staff. The
degradation OF the social environment is particularly with management
of system, which angepassen ton the requirements OF the Mssigkeit and
standardizing OF production and Konsumption of acres, those the
Komerzialisierung, the hunt for the profit, the maximization OF the
work effectiveness and the Konsumptionsideologie of subordinates is.
With conditions OF the competition around maximum enriching with all
means, by more chamfer et nefas, worsen stätig local and global
relation into the social life into look for degrees that the life OF
concrete individuals becomes unertragbar. Importantly the risk OF
social threats rises. The contradictions between the material
possibilities OF individually humans and the maximum performances
forced by the social environment intensify themselves itself ever more
higher life level secure in order ton. The of discrepancies of between
the interests OF individuals and groups, as wave as between the smaller
and more larger groups strengthen. Conditions between the employers and
of employees antagonisieren themselves, between which society and
power, between which arm and the realms cults OF wealth, power and Stä
the rke causes etc. that AVERAGEs humans draw themselves more ever
more, helpless, courageless and unglü cklich fü hlen. Applying on the
chance on getting more over, they communist manifesto of themselves
their attitudes OF the aversion, the more stranger hostileness, even
thus the Agression against the others. Into the AREA the serious danger
OF A global crisis develops for shape OF A world revolution or one in
nä chsten world were with inconceivable consequences. It of increases
A material more danger for the future existence OF the people impact.
Ton of RKs leases the degradation OF the internal environment OF
humans became conscious, d.i. its spirit sphere. So far there is NO
"persönlichkeitliche ecology", although the more danger is
noticing fü r normally functioning OF straight this sphere OF the
human life more ever more. It is wave known that the life environment
OF humans consists OF bio, Sozio and Psychosphä RH. If the ecology is
A science, which is tons serve for the protection OF the
Lebensmielieus, then it must concern itself thus with the protection OF
the internal, mentally environment. The degradation OF the
Psychosphäre shows UP particularly in increasing primitivism OF the
personality and into the progressive depletion OF the rank spirit
experiences. It shows UP thus into the increase in Agression,
brutality, psychological deviation etc. the development OF the
Rationalität and the Szientismus, which enrich progressive
Intellektualität humans, but unfortunately only in A relationship,
whereby the OTHER aspects OF the mentally life, e.g. the feeling sphere
acres neglected. The paradigm OF the rationalism, which prevails since
the Descartes into the so-called west culture including Pragmatismus
and Utilitarismus in philosophy, already caused the one sided
development OF the personality into large yard-tick. This concerns A
verintellektualisierte and computed personality, that is accessible ton
the konsumptionistischen ideologies and from certain ideologists easily
stuern and CAN which manipulated. It is into the reason A personality,
that is typical fü r the one machine and for look for to individual,
who implements sakeless and leichtgläubig the orders OF different
leaders, who copies the advertisement Idole and which conditions into
the service OF the mafiaartigen interests OF businessmen and
politicians. Due ton look for personalities enstehen appropriate
attitudes, behavior and activities OF humans, who support the
degradation of processes into natü the rlichen and social environment,
which CAN finally lead ton the degradation and ton the Dehumanisierung
OF the people impact and accelerate its Absterbphase. 2. New demands
RK the threshold OF the third millenium Into connection with the
enstandenen situation, with the Gafahr OF the premature case OF the
people impact and perhaps thus the life on earth, A new that and
appears: the life ton receive and humans A chance on so long existence
as possible on our Planete ton created. Incoming goods of acres
emergency US consciously that incoming goods of acres emergency
eternal, like that into the extent OF to individually like the child
that the life resembled bezü on our child so really and is seriously
gefä hrdert, like more ever into the history OF one child, and that
the risk OF our premature case incoming goods of ourselves did
emergency increase due ton ü berdenkten measure took into the science,
economy, technology and culture. A substantial role bewuss the
theitliche factor, d.i. the spreading OF the certain conception OF the
world and personality SAM-polarizes, plays which conceptions more over
the role and place OF humans into the world, which attitudes and of act
ion OF the individuals, the life goal and the way OF life, the scythe
OF the life and the style OF thinking - thus all this that in
philosophy contain is. Bewuss the theitliche factor and the role OF
philosophy May emergency overrated, but one is it thus does emergency
measure ton respect or neglect. One must take it in eight around A way
out OF the strand crisis situation ton finds. If one accepts,
technology, economics and politics would direct authors OF this crisis
situation, then it is CLEAR the fact that into its bases our
philosophical convictions, ideal, opinions and CLOSE lich the want look
for and different behaviour and acting does emergency lie. It is the
philosophy, which the technical, economic and political thoughts
inspired and ton certain attitudes and of activities forces US. For the
developed strand moment into the evolution OF the people impact
essentially europä the ische philosophy is responsible, which caused
the CONTINUATION from Descartes and Bacon coming paradigms OF
rationalism and Szientismus. Due tons of thesis paradigms acres
educated since the decay times and the Aufklä rung tons nowadays all
generation. This philosophy, which had seized roofridge in Europe and
more later owing tons different form OF the imperialism and colonialism
thus had control LED different continents, has tears UP EN ursprü OF
the nglichen unit OF humans and nature, who for the antiquity and more
outer ereuropäische culture and philosophy were typical, caused. It
supplied thus ton the conflicts between individuals and of communities,
more outer ones EN and interior world as wave as - all appearance
against - tons global Dysharmonie and Disfunktionalität OF the world
generally speaking. Roofridge everything requires ton of DO the most
important requirements for the NEXT generation, d.i. creating the
conditions for getting more over the people impact and the life on
earth, in order ton prevent the global ecological disasters. This is
the most urgent and vielfächige task. It of requires the treatment OF
appropriate thoughts and the admission OF Tä tigkeiten within several
rank OF the social life, which must exceed the frameworks OF the
classical ecology far. Thesis of activities must precede and support
from the educational activity. The education should directed on A
thorough Reorientierung OF the mentality, toward CHANGE OF conditions
and on the organization OF by ecological attitudes. Radical
transformation OF visits the mentality staff CAN measure in largely em
carried out only due ton more newly philosophical ideas. The past rich
simply emergency out. Because of new historical tasks require A new
philosophy and A of new style OF thinking. If philosophy contributed
tons the critical state, then it is thus into the conditions the
abolition OF the crisis ton cause. But it must already more another
philosophy, which would favorable for the fight for getting more over
the people impact - A universalistic and environmentalistische
philosophy. 3. Environmentalismus - possible way out of the dead
end The possibility from the dead end of the evolution, in which
mankind was nowadays due to the intellectual, technical, economic and
social development to come out exists in the spreading of a kind
environmental philosophy, which I designate as Environmentalismus. This
philosophy can be addressed at all inhabitants of our world ball and
served everyone. Their goal is not common weal and no property of all
humans - a mass or a whole society - separates those interest
individual individual, as well as smaller and grö ss eren groups.
Owing to its Environmentalismus knows the interests of all berü
cksichtigen. The relation "people environment" forms the core of
these Doktrine, whereby humans are understood as the whole ecological
system as an individual or a community and the environment. This
relation is called ecological moment. The Environmentalismus is a
philosophy, those together with others ä hnlichen doctrines and
cultural currents (e.g. with the universalism) the reason to prepare
can fü r what is called "metanoia" and which bedutet the radical
Reorientierung of the Mentalitä t. (2) The ecological moment does not
only play a substantial role with the determination of the goals our
realization, not only in the theoretical and practical activity, but
particularly when evaluating these goals and the predictable
consequences of our activity. It forms a reference system for
determining the standards of our thinking and behaviour as well as for
our ways of acting. In the sense the straight Environmentalismus can
serve r the future as basis of an educating system fü. The
Environmentalismus is based on the following principles: 1. The
principle of the isomorphism of the world. (Whole nature forms an
ecological system; it does not distinguish of its components. New kinds
of organisms have in principle the same chances on getting over.
Therefore there is no objective reason for the Anthropozentrismus.)
2. The principle of the structural Determinismus in the special applied
to the biosphere. (This Determinationsweise is important in such
ecological systems, where humans form one of the components. It plays
one largely e role with the research over the Verhä ltnis "people
environment", with the regulation of evolution tendencies and when
programming the evolution procedures. The existence of humans is
certain by the structure of the environment, in addition, the people
affect this structure and can them some-measured EN bewuss t to
arrange.). (3) The principle of the Biozentrismus. (The life in the
biological sense forms universal and all-highest value. For humans
certainly their life is, particularly in the individual extent most
important. But the people kö nnen only owing to the life of other
organisms live.)
4. The principle of the not-antagonistic social development. (The
evolution of the society is caused by differentiationnesses, conflicts
and Widersprü che, but these do not have to be intensified at all or
be antagonisiert on Veranlassung of humans. Because the Antagonisieren
of social conditions in macro-social measure staff fü hrt to global
crises, which are waived due to a world war and a destruction of
mankind kö nnen.) 5. The principle of the harmonious coexistence and
co-operation. (In the measure like the population density increases and
like means of communication develop, remove the social distances. In
the face of global threats - ö kologischen and social - the
consciousness of the coexistence, co-operation and the gerechtigen
obligation distribution in the world company rises. New tasks mobilize
humans for combination in their activities without Rü cksicht on
ethnical, world-descriptive, cultural and similar differences, and
require around itself completely universal values to combine above all
however in order value of the life. Such combination requires
compromises and tolerance.) with the Environmentalismus is connected a
new specific style of thinking, so-called ecological thinking. The
ecological style of thinking orders a leaving the paradigm of the
rationalism in the sense of the Descartes. The reason is not no more
than the only and crucial criterion of the truth, when reliable source
of knowledge or as basis of moral standards are accepted. One is to
clarify that vernü the nftige, diskursive knowledge cannot only to
supply with and the reason fü to r the philosophical world view form
an adequate conception of the world. the ecological style of thinking
rejects also the Szientismus. It permits also different, irrationelle
and outer erwissenschaftliche sources of knowledge and realization
means, and regards it than alternative and/or complementary for the
rational. As last instance for that and for the evaluation accepts the
ecological style of thinking the understanding, and/or the wisdom
recognizes. The understanding covers the scientific and outer
erwissenschaftliche, rational and non-rational knowledge, but outer
erdem production practice and life experiences, which enwelt subjective
experience that outer ones, which on emotions, intuition and faith
relies. Humans form certainly the output and regulation determination
of ecological thinking, because into last end and independently of it,
like we behave ourselves too different organisms friendly and come
around them kü mmern, always a Menschenschlagsegoität to word. This
shows up in the carefulness for our human interest - the Inividuen and
the whole people impact, in the providing for getting over the
Inividuen and mankind. Therefore the ecological style of thinking is
anthropozentrisch and concentric eingermass EN, because it concentrates
nevertheless on humans. If however this thinking is to serve humans, in
special the safety device of its existence and its getting over, then
it must be aligned also to the environment. Therefore it is also
eccentric: from humans as center that interest on ever more removed
ranges of its environment, in the border line - on the whole cosmos. If
ecological thinking is to cause the maximum expansion of the
Lebensdauers of the people impact on earth, then it must be also
future-oriented. Therefore it is also prospektiv. Close lich is
evaluating ö kologische thinking: it forces to the evaluation of our
attitudes, tasks, goals and Aktivitä t in the Rü cksicht for the
agreement with the interests of all other organisms, on the unit Men
and its environment. Ecological thinking demands therefore the
tolerance and forces us to the search for the compromises in the name
of the unit and the harmony in the world. 4. Adä the quate human
and the education in the spirit of the Environmentalismus due to the
Environmentalismus and ecological thinking develops a new conception of
the human, which I designate as "adä quat" (3), because it
corresponds to contents of the term human more exactly in contrast to
previous human. This contents are certain by the philosophical
conception of humans, universal ethical values, philanthropic models of
the social order and per-ecological attitudes. Those well-known
Humanismuskonzeptionen mostly appelierten to individual interest and
values even if them universal passwords verkü ndeten, because they
were addressed only to certain circles, social classes, konfessionelle
and similar groups and only the given concrete, socialhistorical
conditions corresponded. For it are characteristic the unilateral
nature, the individualism, the relativism and the Temporalitä t
(historicism). Also therefore they are unadäquat. They are also
unadäquat, because if them even in universal and over-historical
conceptions, values and models appoint yourself, then serve them
strictly speaking not directly or last end humans, but something
different one, in whose context humans only are. Because unadä quate
human brings ck humans the Seins rlichen in Abhä ngigkeit of different
ausgedenkten non-human and ü Berne atue to property and Glü - from
veraboslutisierten ideas, to Gods correspond to etc. you only
respective interests and/or ideologies or of the groups striving
already governing for power and their political goals. For the
implementation of their ideals they require often riesiegen victims,
renunciations or Aszese. On the other hand adä the quate human needs
no refuge and appointment to non-human Seins and does not look for not
with them the assistance. It serves excludes lich humans in the name of
its property and can only owing to humans carry out itself. It must be
still stressed that the past human favours last end the civilization of
death. They caused either massive genocides on religious, for political
and ideological reasons, or looked for the refuge in the death one as
means to the Glü ck the other one. The adequate human is apolitisch,
areligiös and anthropobiophil. Therefore it can like no different one
than reason for the setting up civilization of the life serve. The
education for the future is to arrange such generations, be in the
conditions the thing of getting over mankind and the life on earth into
its Hä nde will take and the ideals of the civilization of the life
will carry out. In order to reach this, first the global contradictions
must be waived and be eliminated the developed and predictable world
crisis. However wä the RH possible only if it for the transformation
of the Bewuss tseins kä ME due to such of an educating system, which
on the Environmentalismus, ecological thinking and adä quaten human
was developed.
