碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 教育研究所 === 104 === The aim of this research is to explore the concept of Ecosophy that contributes to build up ecological views for sustainable education. The concept of ecosophy is one of the main works of Arne Naess which is called Ecosophy T. Arne Naess has extensively explained how Ecosophy T to be implemented in various fields, such as economics, politics, technology and lifestyle, and education. This research analyzed the educational materials from UNESCO namely Teaching and Learning for Sustainable Future based on Ecosophy; and furthermore discussed how Ecosophy gave insights on ecologically sustainable education. To achieve the purpose, I developed two inquiries. First, I reviewed the background and implementation of Ecosophy T by Arne Naess, especially related to education. Secondly, I reinforced the extended understanding of Ecosophy through four secondary literatures employed by Alan Drengson, David Rothenberg, Harold Graser, and Chia-Ling Wang. By the way of those inquiries, I proposed an ecoshopical views to be applied for sustainable education. The ecosophical views consist of four parts comprising ecosophical value, ecosophical inducation, ecosophical society, and ecosophical self. Each of the ecosophical view conceives ecological values which based on the concept of Ecosophy. In the end of this research, I gave emphasis on the significance the richness of culture and the diversity of nature for education, and thereafter offered some suggestions for the practices of ecologically sustainable education.
