Abstract: Abstract Addressing human dignity and environmental problems demands that the problem solver be both knowledgeable and skilled. One foundational consideration in addressing dignity and environmental concerns is the recognition that individuals (and groups) behave in ways they perceive will leave them better off. We also know that individuals often misperceive. This fact is captured in the maximization postulate. Knowledge of this phenomenon and many other dimensions of problem solving must be gathered and skillfully used to address dignity and environmental problems. This includes knowledge of self. Successful citizenship and leadership rest on knowledge available and the skillful use of it in integrated, problem-oriented ways. This is a way to address problems and find outcomes to advance dignity and healthy environments.
