Ecological Humanism and its Development Philosophy in Contemporary Society

This study examined Ecological Humanism and explicated the social and moral links between the humanity and the ecology in contemporary society. The latter houses the former, the former is met to promote and protect the latter. Using the thought of John Paul II with his issuance of Centesimus Annus in 1991, with an emphasis on Human Development, he calls for the proper understanding of humanity via the embrace of Ecological Spirituality which recognises that humanity is a composite of matter and spirit that should be redeemed in its wholeness without any trace of natural or fashioned aberration. Then, there is an urgent call for the respect of human rights and social justice. The evaluation is on the importance of putting on the right dispositional consciousness in maintaining the natural arrangements for the attainment of healthy environmental habitation as in view of achieving the salvific mission of Christ which the Church preaches unrelentingly. The whole cosmic systematic arrangement of natural events demands that human species and non-human species should be protected from avert environmental or ecological conditions which are detrimental to healthy living.
