One sign that the crisis is a matter ofecology, and the shallowness of our modern understanding of the ecology of humanlife in this world. This is especially seen from a hundred years the understanding ofwhat is called science, and its relation to the understanding of humans and theenvironment. This crisis has tarnished the trust in modern trials for human happiness.The more alternative thinkers who suggest that recovery must come from withinman, not only through political solutions and systemic. This paper would like tooffer philosophical and ecological questions that can explain the journey of humanlife. So far, the maps offered by scientism-a-modern materialism has left unansweredmany important problems of human life, including ecological problems. Even thinkof it as “not a problem!”. At the end of this paper, the authors tries to elaborateon the Islamic concept of man and ecology.I need a short name for what is lacking.I call it the ecological conscience.Ecology is the science of communities,and the ecological conscience is therefore the ethics of community life.—Aldo Leopold,
