A Conceptual Approach Toward Understanding Environmental Problems

Philosophy derives its significance not only from its theoretical dimension, which has always distinguished it, but also from its practical aspect.This practical dimension refers to the theoretical or conceptual approach to real-life problems across various fields.It enables philosophy to address complex real-world issues that resist straightforward solutions, whether from individual specialized sciences or even their collective efforts.Philosophy's ability to engage with problems, propose solutions, or offer practical suggestions stems from its comprehensive contemplative nature, its critical essence, and its analytical approach, which moves away from mere narration toward discussion and the application of verification and falsification principles within a broad critical-analytical framework.Within this context, philosophy engages in discussions on environmental issues, including global warming.A key aspect that should serve as a starting point for addressing this problem is defining and refining concepts, which falls under the first thematic axis.Therefore, I propose tackling this issue within the first axis of the conference through a presentation titled: "Key Concepts for Understanding the Ecological Problem and Providing a Critical Analysis."Inthis presentation, I intend to employ a comparative analytical approach, given its effectiveness in clarifying these concepts, particularly by comparing various definitions provided by different fields of knowledge.Additionally, my aim is to offer a general perspective on the ecological problem, serving as a foundation for exploring its various dimensions, challenges, and discussion Citation
