The ecological perspective related to personalism asserts that humans
are part and parcel to the natural world and to the cosmos at large and
thus, the inherent nature of the individual is in fact the inherent
nature of the universe.
A Change in Perspective in the Human-nature Relationship
As civilizations evolved and became more sophisticated, human beings
continued to discover and utilize the resources of their domain to
assure their advancement and security. At first, the abundance of
natural reserves seemed endless but as populations grew and human needs
increased, the impact on the environment became increasingly critical
and resulted in many forms of pollution and resource depletion.
The Development of Speech and Language
The development of language and the vocal capacity for speech has been
attributed as the most significant development of any creature on the
planet. Language provided a means of communication that allowed complex
interactions between individuals or groups of individuals and the
capacity to reason and solve problems, understand relationships between
things and events and to think about the past and plan for the future.
The Development of the Intellect
Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
All living things have intelligence as a mechanism to survive and
prosper. Humans and animals functioned similarly in this sense until the
intellect developed.
Consciousness and its Relationship to Biological Evolution
Consciousness is defined as the state of being awake and aware of one’s
surroundings; the awareness or perception of something by a person; the
fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world.
