It has become apparent that the pattem of the relationship between man and the environment needs to be altered in a way that necessitates the search fbr a new philosophical foundation for Environmental Education .

This study reveals that there are more than one philosophy attempting to explain and guide man's relationship with the environment .

To begin with, there is the Determinism and the Possiblilism school .

Then there is the Mr"rtualism and Gaia.

The study shows that these philosophical trends both link with one anofher and diverge from each other in viewing the development of marr's relationslrip with the environment and the effects that has both spatially and temporally.
