The Dialectic Of The Environment And Chronic Diseases: Toward A Philosophical Approach To Environmental Education
Authors : Djeloud Rachid . Boumana Mohamed .
Abstract
Chronic diseases account for nearly three quarters of global mortality, making them one of the most pressing health challenges of the contemporary world. These diseases—such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory illnesses—are no longer understood solely as the result of biological or genetic factors. Rather, they are increasingly recognized as being closely linked to the natural and social environments in which individuals live. Environmental degradation, modern lifestyles, and social inequalities together constitute a structural set of factors that contribute to the spread and aggravation of chronic diseases. From this perspective, this study seeks to reconceptualize health as an environmental, ethical, and educational issue rather than a purely therapeutic one. It emphasizes the importance of environmental education as both a theoretical and practical framework for developing a comprehensive preventive approach aimed at rebuilding a responsible and sustainable relationship between humans and their environment
