Skolimowski honored by eco-philosophy symposium

The Marshal of the Polish Parliament held a symposium to celebrate the 25th anniversary of eco-philosophy on Oct. 26, 1999 in Warsaw. Eco--philosophy was created and then developed by Henryk Skolimowski, professor emeritus of humanities.

More than 200 philosophers, ecologists and activists, as well as parliamentarians attended the event. Eco-philosophy, or ecological hu-manism, calls for the appropriation of man to nature and views man as being part of nature rather than having dominion over it. Skoli-mowski has published numerous books to out-line the philosophical system, including Living Philosophy, Eco-Philosophy as a Tree of Life, A Sacred Place to Dwell, Living with Reverence Upon the Earth, and Eco Yoga, Practice and Meditations for Walking in Beauty on the Earth.
