Environmental possibilism is developed as a reaction to '''environmental determinism'''. Environmental determinism says that the physical environment determines the way people act and the way a culture developes. For the environmental determinists the way a culture has developed is mainly a stimulus - response reaction (note/question: isn't that also somehow what '''behaviourism''' says, only in a broader way?) to the physical environment. Environmental possibilism argues that 'land and life influence each other in a two-way mutual relationship'. In other words: milieux (natural environment) and civilisations (human communities) influence each other constantly. This leads to different lifestyles of peoples communities throughout the world, and thus to many possibe outcomes of the interaction between milieux and civilisations. So to summarise: '''possiblism''' is saying that life and land influence each other and '''determinism''' says that there is a one way direction influence from land to life.

Humanists use Vidal’s possibilism: the natural environment offers possible avenues for human development – the precise one chosen is a human decision. (Cloke et al, 1991, p. 65)

==Renaissance==

-
A wide ranging shift in intellectual, artistic and practical achievements that swept away the dust of Medieval times and heralded the dawn of more modern ones. A transformation that affected the very way in which human beings conceived of themselves and of their role within the cosmic order, and a transformation that gave humanity a much more important place in this cosmic order than had been the case in Medieval times.

-
The Renaissance placed man in the centre of the cosmos. In Medieval times men and women held an important but decidedly inferior position in the great chain of being and in which their prime duty was to transcend the mortal world and their mortal bodies. The Renaissance created a new iamge of man as the central miracle of creation. The perfect measure of God and God's creation.

-
The Renaissance effectively 'invented' the human subject as something indispensable to human thought and action: as something active in history, in the sense of 'making things happen' and as something capable of attaining a knowledge of both its external world and its internal world.

Science became the preeminently 'human' tool for knowing the world, and that in so doing the capacity of the human mind to acquire knowledge about existence became a central problem for philosophical reflection.
