Biophilia: The term "biophilia" literally means "love of life or living systems." It was first used by Erich Fromm to describe a psychological orientation of being attracted to all that is alive and vital. Wilson uses the term in the same sense when he suggests that biophilia describes "the connections that human beings subconsciously seek with the rest of life.” He proposed the possibility that the deep affiliations humans have with nature are rooted in our biology. Unlike phobias, which are the aversions and fears that people have of things in the natural world, philias are the attractions and positive feelings that people have toward certain habitats, activities, and objects in their natural surroundings.
Optimistic Realism: Someone who is able to look at the positive side of life while maintaining a realistic viewpoint; believes that the world is of a generally positive nature, but that negative events can and will still occur despite this. Understands the statement that "everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not yet the end."
Dissent: a sentiment or philosophy of non-agreement or opposition to a prevailing idea (e.g. a government's policies) or an entity (e.g. an individual or political party which supports such policies). "Dissent develops democracy."
Existentialism: A philosophical theory or approach that emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will. Experiential: derived from experience or the experience of existence.
