Еколошка етика - доблест или борба за опстанок

Abstract

As a cause of man's reliance in his unlimited power, the contemporary civilization is in moral crisis. That't why the ethics is needed! In first place, as a criteria for detaching the result of scientific research from society regulations and their needs, and second, the help from ethics is needed in relation to the person, profession and society. In the mean time, the change of necessarily and meaning on ethics brought and developed new ethical areas and forms, among which as most important - as a form and method, as a composite of values and norms - is ecological ethics as a part of Bioethics. We need ethical awaking in our efforts to recognize the wholeness of human acting. In another words, we need a kind of ethics which will have overall attitude toward nature. It is the most rigorous ethics until now, with a good thought and rigid responsibility, with absolute idea for inviolacy against others and with utter sense about universality of repercussions of acting. We need mind and moral as basic forces, not escapism. We need review, call for integrative thinking. If philosophy is keeping the consciousness for wholeness and spreading the thought for love toward wisdom of successful and good life, than the ecological ethics is a new contribution to that philosophy for better human acting and life in the future.
