Instead, this species puts itself first, and holds that the “commercial prosperity” of just one vain and merciless species is more important than the biological survival of every other species. But imagine a people who sacrificed their kind to save life itself from perishing. Isn't that a purpose worth setting aside global differences? Imagine perhaps the idea of no greater love is about to find a place in an imprescriptible history that illiterate kinds will benefit from forever. This species, more than any other species, may join together as one humble and reverent kind and make every effort toward saving this beautiful planet from its longitudinal yet incidental myopia.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122148122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to begin the process of reconciliation with the planet, mankind must first ask what is wrong with his broken relationship with the Earth. If man's first date with nature was one of wonder and awe, could it be that man now takes his beloved nature for granted? Perhaps his silent partner would like a say in how she is regarded, and especially in how she is treated. If so, what can man do to get back to that first love and shower the weeping Earth with affection? It turns out that the national park system may point the way back to conjugal bliss.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132925496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There will be a need to redefine awe and rethink companionship, as human explorers endure extended time away from reminders of home in the pursuit of endless discovery. This chapter will take the reader to where no theory has gone before.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"258 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114941474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This theory is unique in that it emphasizes an almost reverent collaboration of all life on the planet Earth toward a common need to survive, rather than their apparent hostility and competitiveness. The Theory of Biophilia expands the human definition of sentient life and examines how important this love of life is to the essential need for regard within both the observer and the observed.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130174037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Healing and Grounding Potential of Biophilia 亲生命的治愈和接地潜力

Often this results in a person suddenly feeling grounded, centered, focused, and assured. Forest therapy is one way to find this sense of belonging and solace, but isolation and loneliness can still pervade even the most sacred of spaces. The authors posit that what all living things need is to feel important to one another. Sadly, the civilized world does not often grant that regard. Still, a silent companion calls from the wild to come home; this chapter is about several ways to answer that call and get back both one's regard for nature and one's own self-regard. Biophilia is a proven way through the pathless woods of depression, a trail unmarked by the signposts of civilization—where wildflowers with high hopes of loveliness still grow.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120954671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Denial of climate change and the belief that nature needs human intervention to survive instead of the reverse suggest the species is not fit to be the steward of its world. Human beings seem to view the conquest and extirpation of nature as a sort of progressive and inevitable victory over their savage past . . . even though the human species was once in awe of the natural world. These days, the species hominin seems more savagely eager to transform that awe into salable goods and global power. Perhaps the answer to saving the planet is not more sovereignty, but more faith.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117280253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The epoch known as childhood is going extinct as the need for more and more education reaches into infancy for the earlier brain growth needed to compete with the velocity of science. The epoch known as old age is undergoing a metamorphosis from something to look forward to, to something to fear. Only the productive middle of an otherwise unproductive lifespan seems to be of value to society. This chapter compares the withholding of regard from children until it's earned, to the withholding of reverence for nature until it perishes. The authors issue a call to honor the very young and the very old, because those are the precious sunrises and sunsets of the human lifespan.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127166006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How Reverence for a Flower Can Save a Planet 敬畏一朵花如何拯救一个星球

Many are not even on the list of endangered species, much like humans missing from the organ transplant waiting lists. If humans do not see their commercial value (profitable species), humans do not seem to appreciate them much at all (nuisance species). Psychologically, the human species tends to forget how much it loves what matters, and accidentally lets them perish (living things). Meanwhile, it falls in love with things that don't matter and can't die (writing, ideas, and cities). But if this species could only learn to have a deep and abiding reverence for a little thing (like a flower), perhaps it could learn to have as much or more reverence for its human neighbors. This chapter will go into intimate detail on how this may be practically applied. This practical application of reverence for life that stems from work with children and animals is shown to be effective in reducing intergroup prejudice. Reverence for all life can be a core and crucial learning concept for early childhood education.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131471944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Losing Everything to Save the World 为了拯救世界而失去一切

This happens even if those who behave indignantly are otherwise nice people. They grumble over having to make repairs instead of being grateful to have survived. But curiously, when they lose absolutely everything to a disaster (even though one would expect them to be even more upset), they become surprisingly grateful instead (almost relieved). The authors propose that the unexpected indignation at losing a little is really just the habituation of gratitude coming out at last, because long ago a little was all humans had to lose. But as humans have too much to lose these days, it is hard to get back to the sense of losing everything. Extreme loss is required to rediscover extreme relief, and this requires letting natural outcomes determine when and where one loses everything—not by greater control of outcomes, but by broadening the idea of faith.","PeriodicalId":435406,"journal":{"name":"Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection","volume":"4 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123531259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
