Abstract
Philosophy is a human attempt to understand our place in the natural environment. Environmental philosophy provides a gateway to develop a heuristic model to understand Micronesian philosophy. To study Micronesian philosophy is in large part to examine Micronesian environmental philosophy. Micronesian philosophy is based on correlative or analogical thinking – a type of thinking that is fairly common in the Asia-Pacific region but differs markedly from modern, scientific, causal thinking. In Micronesian correlative thinking the world consists of interacting bi-polar forces. Cosmology and ethics, 'is' and 'ought', are not separate. Micronesian environmental ethics is rooted in environmental philosophy.
