The elaboration presents conceptual and content aspects of an author’s model for educating ecological culture in introducing 5- to 6- year-old children into the natural world. The need for new interactive systems for environmental education in childhood is being defended. The vectors of pre-school ecological education and schooling are brought forth, they are addressed through the cognitive-information, personal, cultural and competence paradigms. The structure of the competence conceptual idea in pre-school ecological education is specified. In the context of the European educational priorities for early preparation and presentation of natural science competences, the basic principles that make up the model of “Molivko – I play and I know. Environmental studies” are brought out; it is designed to introduce 5- to 6-year-olds into the world of nature. They require cognitive and informational stimulation of personal experience in orientation in the natural world, empirically-active behavioural and communication regulation in the socio-environmental surroundings, model-situational systematization of ideas for maintaining a sustainable environment, reflexive-emotional attitude to the picture of the world of nature of the individual. Accordingly, the goal of the pedagogical interaction “child – nature”, which is referred to the initial stage of compulsory pre-school education, is set out. The integrative aspects of the author’s model related to game, socialization, knowledge, communication, safety, health, physical culture, labour and artistic creativity are set. The content accents of the model system, built up by adapting key concepts and skills related to bio-ecology, social and applied ecology, which in their unity guarantee the cognitive basis of the children’s ecological culture, are specified. Methodological ideas and solutions, laid down in the applied-educational provision of the author’s system are interpreted. Emphasis is placed on the inclusion of an accessible practice-transforming research activity, participation in modelling activities, children’s presentation and discussion with environmental content, collection, project activity. They are achieved through viewing, demonstration, multimedia presentations, talk, storytelling, reading of artistic works, didactic games, exercises, elementary experiments, modelling, staging, etudes, cases, etc. They are guaranteed by educational interaction, which presupposes the achievement of educational trends for key natural-science competences in the third age group, theoretically set and covered in applied-education field.

Natural Ontology

This book weaves together themes from natural ontology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and information, areas of inquiry that have not recently been treated together. The sprawling topic is Kant’s how is knowledge possible? gbut viewed from a contemporary naturalist standpoint. The assumption is that we are evolved creatures that use cognition as a guide in dealing with the natural world, and that the natural world is roughly as natural science has tried to describe it. Very unlike Kant, then, we must begin with ontology, with a rough understanding of what the world is like prior to cognition, only later developing theories about the nature of cognition within that world and how it manages to reflect the rest of nature. And in moving from ontology to cognition we must traverse another non-Kantian domain: questions about the transmission of information both through natural signs and through purposeful signs, including, especially, language.

Over Time

AbstractAlfred North Whitehead's and Charles Hartshorne's process thinking presents a complex and sophisticated metaphysical underpinning for a theory of self and self-identity. Their construction of the self has significant implications for understanding of the (human) community and the natural environment. Process thinking, I argue, undercuts the idea of self unity; of self-continuity over time; and of self-differentiation from the world. When combined, these three elements mean that it is hard to separate the individual, personal self from the community and the natural world. I compare these implications from process thinking with what might seem similar implications from radical ecological philosophies. Although there are ethical and metaphysical differences between process thinkers and deep ecologists, both kinds of theory need to be treated with caution in application to our thinking about the environment.

Oscar Wilde remarked in The Picture of Dorian Gray that, ‘It is only the shallow people who do not judge by appearances.’ Over three centuries of natural science show that, at least as far as the study of the natural world is concerned, Wilde's epigram is itself shallow. Weber used the term ‘disenchantment’ to mean the elimination of magic from the modern scientific world view: the intellectual rationalisation of the world embodied in modern science has made it impossible to believe in magic or an invisible God or gods, without a ‘sacrifice of the intellect’.

The chapter discusses the natural philosophy of the ancient Stoics including the attitude they took towards the so-called special and applied sciences (technai). After a historical outline introducing the main facts and personalities (sec. 1), the role and status of natural philosophy within the Stoic system are explained, with special reference to the moral and theological dimension of the study of nature, that is, the Stoic view of the world as a rationally structured and providentially determined whole and what this view implies for our way of living (sec. 2). Two subsequent sections are concerned with Stoic materialist physics on both the universal (macrocosmic) and the individual (microcosmic) level respectively (sec. 3 and sec. 4). The next section is specifically devoted to exploring Stoic views on, and involvement with, applied sciences and arts such as astronomy, mathematics and medicine (sec. 5). The Epilogue sums up the main results from the preceding discussion (sec. 6).

Environmental awareness of consumers and the popularity of a healthy lifestyle are the trends of our time both in the world and in Russia. The article discusses the ecolabelling sign as a means of offline information about the environmental characteristics of products and an important criterion when choosing and buying various goods. In our country, there are only prerequisites for an approach to greening business and positioning "environmentally friendly" products. However, it is vital that everyone understands the eco-label and distinguishes the certificate of declared quality from the marketing ploy. The paper touches upon the issues of ecological education and formation of the population ecological culture. To clarify the importance of eco-labeling in the formation of an environmentally oriented lifestyle among young people, a sociological research method was used, suitable for clarifying any aspects of social relations and capable of providing operational primary sociological information. The results of the survey of the 1st and 2nd year students of the Moscow State University of Fine Chemical Technologies named after M.V. Lomonosov in 2019/2020 academic year, concerning their interest in the environmental characteristics of the purchased goods, are provided.

The development of garden space at Annensky contributes to an understanding of the individual symbolism of the poet and the principles of organizing semantic unity of the “Trilistniks” (trefoils). In the first trilistniks, the subject occupies an ambivalent position of attraction and repulsion in relation to the garden space (flowers, birds, earth). The intensity of color and smell, as well as the principle of contrast, oxymoron, are important in the description. The garden refers to biblical mythology (“Trefoil of temptation”). Nature is renewed, and man cannot get rid of the burden of the “evil” past and the idea of inevitability of death (“Sentimental trefoil”). Observing the phenomenon of light and shade in the garden, the lyrical “I” thinks about the existence of the world simultaneously outside and inside a man (“Lunar trefoil”). The garden in the “Trefoil of doomness” dedicated to the perception of time is a closed space, “the door is clogged there.” Gardens are gradually growing dim, become flatter, empty and move inside the consciousness of a lyrical subject (sleep, nonsense, fiction). The flowers on the window, the dead garden and the sky are perceived as solid, frozen surfaces (“Ghostlike trefoil”). The image of the garden takes on fantastic features: the old manor is placed in the space of a fairy tale (“Trefoil from the old notebook”), shadows in the garden turn into ghosts of the past and are condensed (“Spring trefoil”). “Trefoil of the loneliness,” the last in the series, is dedicated to the issue of alienation of a modern man from natural world and people, the bright image of the garden (lilacs, sun, bees) is located outside the personal space of the “I.”

Interdisciplinary Integration

Fragmentariness of the picture of the world in majority modern students is a significant obstacle in the development of their scientific worldview. The lack of integrity of the image of the universe is aggravated by the prevalence of the clip-on thinking among students, which prevents the students from fully acquiring fundamental classical education. The formation of an integral scientific picture of the world is necessary for the realization of an in-dependent productive research activity. In whatever field this activity is carried out, it is closely related to the creation of spatial representations and the mental manipulation of them in the process of solving various problems. Spatial representations are ordered in the mind of the learner on the basis of the geometric component of the natural science picture of the world. Integrated content courses such as "Introduction to the Modern Geometry of the Universe" while teaching of students should be combined with the implementation of the principle of interdisciplinary integration in the development of the educational program, carried out on the basis of the geometric component of the natural-science picture of the world.

The concept of the world soul is difficult to understand in large part because over the course of history it has been invoked to very different ends and within the frameworks of very different ontologies, with very different concepts of the world soul emerging as a result. Yet there are three principal contexts in which the world soul is traditionally called upon to do philosophical work: the individual soul’s relation to the world (and other souls), natural science and cosmology, and especially metaphysical mediation. These three contexts are set out with reference to the following chapters and reflections.

The Way

The article claims that the assimilation of knowledge from the natural philosophy should help future professionals to form worldviews in the range of "man - nature", namely: to grasp the integrity of nature and its fundamentality rationally, to comprehend nature as a general, limiting concept that explains the scheme of understanding individual things; as a regulatory idea that allows us to understand all things and all objects in their unity and in different forms, to build a rational scientific picture of the world, by filling in the data of natural science and discovering the internal principles of interconnection and determination of things, to reveal different levels of nature as a whole – from inorganic nature to life in general and human life in particular. It is a fragment of a pragmatist-instrumentalist philosophicaleducational system, which consists in effective purposeful influence on the individual through a specific tool - philosophical knowledge. Here, natural philosophy becomes an instrument of intellectual discourse of the individual, and its study is a pragma (action) on the way to forming the world outlook of the individual and the universal picture of the world. It is the natural and philosophical knowledge that shapes the worldviews of the new (modern) personality, helping to understand the totality of the objective conditions of humanity's existence and to define its survival as a pressing problem of the present.
