Question restatement: Which of the following is not a human-centered worldview?

Option 1: Stewardship. This view emphasizes humans' responsibility to manage and care for the environment, often reflecting a human-centered concern for using resources wisely for human benefit and moral duties toward nature. It is typically considered anthropocentric, focusing on human duties and benefits, though it may also include some respect for ecosystems.

Option 2: Planetary management. This perspective treats Earth as something to be managed for human welfare, planning and exploiting natural resources to maximize human benefits. It is explicitly human-centered, centering human needs and goals in environmental decision-making.

Option 3: None are human-centered. This option claims that none of the listed worldviews center humans, implying all are non-human-centered. To evaluate, we must see whether any of the other options are clearly human-centered; given that stewardship and planetary management are commonly described as anthropocentric, this “none” claim would be inaccurate if those two are indeed human-centered.

Option 4: All are human-centered. This asserts that every worldview listed is anthropocentric. If stewardship and planetary management are accepted as human-centered, this could be plausible, but we must check the fourth option for accuracy.

Option 5: Environmental wisdom. This worldview emphasizes learning from nature and recognizing humans as part of ecological systems, with a focus on ecological processes and intrinsic value of nature beyond mere human utility. It is often considered more ecocentric or holistic rather than strictly human-centered, making it not purely human-centered.

Analysis of each option in turn:
- Option 1 (Stewardship): The idea that humans have stewardship duties over the environment centers human responsibilities and benefits, though it can include ethical considerations for ecosystems. Overall, it tends to be described as anthropocentric, so it is a human-centered worldview.
- Option 2 (Planetary management): This is a straightforward human-centered approach, aiming to manage planetary resources for human prosperity and control, not nature for its own sake.
- Option 3 (None are human-centered): Given that multiple options (like stewardship and planetary management) are commonly labeled anthropocentric, this claim is likely false because at least some listed worldviews are human-centered.
- Option 4 (All are human-centered): If evidence shows that environmental wisdom is not strictly human-centered, this blanket statement would be incorrect. Since environmental wisdom often includes reverence for ecological processes and nature’s intrinsic value beyond human use, labeling it as purely human-centered would be inaccurate.
- Option 5 (Environmental wisdom): This worldview emphasizes humans as part of nature and seeks harmony with ecological systems, frequently highlighting limits to human domination and value in natural processes. This makes it not strictly human-centered, aligning with ecocentric or holistic perspectives rather than a purely anthropocentric stance.

Putting it together, the option that stands out as not being human-centered is Environmental wisdom, because its emphasis tends to transcend human utility and place intrinsic value on nature itself rather than on human-centered planning or control.

In summary: Environmental wisdom is the not human-centered worldview among the options, while stewardship and planetary management align with human-centered perspectives. The other choices (None are human-centered, All are human-centered) are statements about the set that conflict with the characterization of environmental wisdom and the typical classification of stewardship and planetary management as anthropocentric.
