This document discusses the philosophy of the human person in relation to the environment. It introduces environmental philosophy as studying the moral relationship between humans and nature. It outlines three main philosophical views: anthropocentrism which sees humans as most important, biocentrism which values all species, and ecocentrism which sees humans as part of ecosystems. It also discusses environmental aesthetics, where maintaining order brings natural beauty. The class activity involves organizing environmental disorders aesthetically and pledging to help the environment.
