This book is intended for the serious reader of Western philosophy. It is not an introductory text to philosophical interpretation, but a reflection by a philosopher who accepts that he is living at a threshold of a posthuman philosophical movement in the Anglo-American context. The book is written from a phenomenological philosophical perspective, rather than an analytical perspective rooted in Hellenistic metaphysical philosophy. It is written to illustrate an alternative approach to understanding a contemporary social issue – the treatment of the human environment – from a philosophical perspective rather than from that of the modern sciences. It is divided into two parts that initially may seem unrelated. The first part is an introduction to the background that has given the rationale for writing the second part. Together, from reading both parts, one may recognize that the treatment of the environment must include the spiritual as well as the physical aspect that constitute the human environment. Such is a premise of this book.
