Popis In the context of the global environmental crisis the question of the role and place of philosophy and ethics has taken on a new significance. The confrontation of theoretical statements and existential danger has led to the emergence and gradual development of so-called environmental ethics, which can be seen as an important part of the ethical debate today. The basic question here is the problem of anthropocentrism as an element in a criticised paradigm of modern civilisation. The possibility of rejecting this does however call for consideration of other alternatives. The opposing biocentric pole clearly does not offer a problem-free solution for the emergence of new relations to the world of nature. The problem of the legitimacy and truth of a non-anthropocentrically formulated philosophy is fundamental. This leads to the critical point that the systematic implementation of this version is not merely a rejection of the human view of the problems of the modern world, but also the resignation to human responsibility. An even more fundamental question is the real acceptability of such concepts - their practical consequences (moral, political and technical). Biocentrism can be criticised primarily for its inability to offer concrete proposals in a form in which they can be put into practice.
