Abstract

Social Sciences play a pivotal role in dealing with environmental problems by presenting multiple visions that help in understanding the social, cultural, and moral dimensions of such problems. Indeed, this role is harmonious with the role of philosophy. Philosophy has provided a more comprehensive vision of ecological problems, especially the philosophy of morals in the sense that philosophy, specifically ecological philosophy, is no longer concerned only with man as Utilitarian ethics and Kantinian ethics, but also with the environment with all it contents including plants, animals, water, etc. in addition to the relation between man and the environment. Moreover, a new moral concept emerged as, for the first time, man and nature have come face to face in discussing the issues of natural resources that are constantly depleted and how to optimally exploit such resources. In this paper, the researcher raises the following questions: (1) What is meant by the comprehensive ecological vision and what are the morals resulting from it? (2) How can this comprehensive ecological vision solve various environmental problems and crises?
