Proposed is an educational philosophy to address the changing world condition in which space and resources are shrinking and the fact of a whole world community is becoming more influential. The proposed philosophy, "Whole Earth Education," is discussed as being an appropriate learning environment, a commitment to the pursuit of "wholeness" in the participants, and a view of the earth that is holistic. The purpose of the paper is to propose an educational philosophy; it does not detail organization and implementation, but rather discusses the theory of the philosophy. (RE)
