In this next chapter, Kohak explains the three different types of attitudes towards nature that we as humans have used ethically towards the environment. I can agree with these types of attitudes towards nature because it makes a lot of sense and Kohak's philosophy gives me a different perspective that I have never heard before. In this chapter, Kohak also brings other philosopher's involved and shares all of their philosophies towards these types as well.
The first one is Anthropocentric. Anthropocentrism is plain and simply a respect for all beings. I like and agree with anthropocentrism because not a lot of people show respect to our environment like they should. An anthropocentric person wants to master nature and become one with it.
The next one is Theocentrism and this is a personal experience that someone has with nature. This personal experience that someone may encounter could change someone's life. Theocentrism teaches that nature is divine, and it also brings a little bit of religious beliefs into its philosophy.
The last one is biocentrism and it moves away from the first two philosophies just discussed. Biocentrism is best explained by encountering something that you just think it is absolutely beautiful. You are amazed by something in nature, or even an animal and you respect it.
