Role of Possibilism Theory as an Egocentric/Homocentric Mediator in the Relation of Biocentrism to the Ecotheology of Christian Religion and the Implications of Environmental Ethics in the Destruction of the Natural Environment

Abstract

When humans and the natural environment were introduced, they were
very beautiful, humans and the natural environment helped each other, but
when the first humans were expelled with God's permission, seeing this,
natural environmental problems became critical, human greed and
selfishness began to emerge. This arises when trying and overcoming it
with the aim of causing an environmental disaster. This research aims to
determine the extent to which the relationship between egocentrism and
homocentrism is mediated through the principles of possibilism and
biocentrism in the direction of ecotheology and the consequences of
environmental ethics related to environmental damage. The technique used
was through questionnaire answers to 50 housing residents in the West
Jakarta area, the nature of the recording was qualitative. The research
results show that 92% agree and an average of 84% of West Jakarta
housing residents agree that the understanding of egocentrism,
homocentrism mediated by the principle of possibilism with biocentrism in
ecology and environmental ethics can reduce negative impacts on the
biological environment. In the end, with high self-awareness in protecting
the natural environment, everyone can protect and preserve the natural
surroundings with good ecology and high environmental ethics.
