In Mountain School, instructors are constantly breaking down - TopicsExpress



          

In Mountain School, instructors are constantly breaking down science-y words with the students into their component, literal parts. Bio = life, and philia = love. Pulitzer Prize winning author Edward O. Wilson publicized his “Biophilia Hypothesis” back in 1984 (which may seem an appropriate counter-balance to the George Orwell scholars among us, no?). The entomologist and Harvard professor argued that humans have an innate bond with other species, and this is at the core of our humanity....Is Wilson’s hypothesis true? Of course, as an environmental educator, the tendency is to immediately gush, “Duh, of course it is!” Feel the love and read the rest of Katherines post on biophilia on our blog at chattermarks.ncascades.org/naturalist-notes/biophilia-in-the-north-cascades.
