The ancient Greek concept of ‘OikeioSis’ can save us.

Our topic today: Earth-Stewardship concept from Greek Philosophy.

In Stoic ethics, oikeiôsis (Ancient Greek: οἰκείωσις, Latin: conciliatio) is a technical term often translated as "familiarization," "affinity," "affiliation," and "endearment".

Oikeiôsis signifies the perception of something as one’s own, as belonging to oneself (ie the Earth, people as one family).
​
​The theory of oikeiôsis can be traced back to the work of the first Stoic philosopher, Zeno . Later, the Stoic philosopher Hierocles saw it as the basis for human ethical action. According to Porphyry, "those who followed Zeno stated that oikeiôsis is the beginning of justice"; A just society, as good 'Earth-stewards' of our home planet.

"OIKEIOSIS"

Oikeiôsis is rooted in the word oikos (οἶκος). Oikos is the word for household, house, or family, and can be seen in modern English words like economics and ecology (Greek oiko- to Classical Latin 'oeco'- to Medieval Latin eco-). Similarly, the term Oikeiotes denotes the sense of belonging, the opposite of alienation. The term invokes the sense of being "at home", of belonging to and by extension becoming "familiarized" with something (especially life on planet Earth). ie TO BECOME GOOD CARETAKERS of EARTH, sense of LOVE. and RESPONSIBILITY.
