Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most valuable and remarkable practices of technology system that has been generated from old secondary civilization leap after hunting and gathering steps of evolution in human culture. The practices has been developed and integrated with all recent progress in the human civilization. It is an indispensable axiological practices that can not be neglected or avoided for the human existence, because this is the only way to provide all human need in regard with the accomplishment of enough food, logging, and textiles. But there are the facts of increase number of unwanted impact due to the technology that contributed to the decrease quality of biosphere. In this paper, I raised a formulation to consider the agriculture as an ambiguous axiological inevitability, which has both advantages and disadvantages for the biospheres sustainability. The disadvantage ones have never fairly discussed, except at most recent time, in which, sustainable agriculture has a momentum to openly communicated in the fast growing challenge to find out the safely agriculture practices. This paper discusses further the comprehensive perspective of the existence of sustainable agriculture in the view of both philosophy and more specific ethical philosophy, mostly under the term of pragmatism and utilitarianism.
