Summary/Abstract: The imposing faces of contemporary human values in relations to the sustained ontological and cosmological contents of global ecostewardship, project clear and indispensable needs for ethical regulations of human actions in our scientifically and technologically driven world. That we need the courses of eco-stewardship is clear to all due to the increasing rate of environmental pollution and degradation to the detriment of the future of the human persons. As first imperative, the human person needs to reflect on the effects of an increasing military and nuclear engagements and explorations and the emerging robotic and trans-humanistic anthropology through the employment of trans-biology, trans-humanistic technology and all forms of artificial intelligence. It projects the philosophy of living that contemporary human persons must thus reject the idea of “negation of the world” and become “world affirmers of values”, understanding that ethics requires the solution of our problems in “here and now” by adopting the courses of global ecostewardship as foundational consciousness and value for achieving integral humanism. Employing phenomenological method of analysis, the essay concludes that the tasks for the care of the environment by every individual, civil society or government should be intensified in monitoring human actions for the sake of saving the human person from self-annihilation, self-alienation, and possible self-extinction.
