Environment described in dictionary

Biology dictionary Environmental science dictionary

Environment Circumference of a certain subject

the sum-total of influences which modify and determine the development of life or character

Habitat factor

Abiotic environment and biological environment

1)Physical、 2)Chemistry、 3)biological、 4)Social、 5)Cultural

Internal environment

Metaphor in internal state of organism.The subject is a cell.

Liquid element of organism　It develops into the concept of homeostasis of organism. 　　

Subjective environment

Environmental image caused by organism.

Environmental image caused by organism.

The environment which does not specify the subject cannot be understood as substance.　 Observer's aspect of the environment depends on observer's nature-views

Content expected of ecology in 1970's

Ecology shows the outlook on the world. 　　（ Ecology is an integrated science.: Not a

tool of the analysis but Rough sketch）

Was ecology useful for a technical solution of the pollution environmental problems?

It is environmental education that there seems to be a relation.

Environmental problems were paid attention in 1960's, and ecology was put out to the center of the stage. Ecology offers a new aspect of the interrelation of the natural phenomenon to the philosophy and the human science.

Ecology as not ecology as science but thought

Maintenance: Shallow ecologyTo make man not fall into the crisis, natural environment is preserved.For air purification and gene preservation, etc

Preservation: Deep ecologyThe main target of shallow ecology is healthy and prospers about the people who live in

advanced nations. Networks of abundant lives of the virgin forest and the ecosystem have valuable value.Do not dispose of the nature as man's tool.The deep ecology adopts "Principle of variety and symbiosis“

Deep ecology criticismThe deep ecology was formed by an intellectual elite of the white of the middle

class of Europe and America (man).

New ecological ethics are necessary

Quotation from life study (Prof. Masahiro's Morioka homepage)

　　　Three natures of man's life1"Nature of ranging"　 I want to integrate

with the sea and the forest.

2 "Nature of self-profit" 　 I may sacrifice other living things.

3“Nature of support”　 I want to help

others. 　　　　　　 Quotation from Mr./Ms. Masahiro‘s

Morioka life study　@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

　　 What do I want to do after retirement? After retirement, I will not research ecological ethics. 　 I want to collect the earthworm in Kyushu, and do earthworm's taxonomy.

Ethics is not a place of my activity After March 18 in 2014

　　 . The subject and the environment have been interactive.　　 I observe and describe it. Thereafter, I want to consider the relation among the event, its observation, and its description.
