Abstract

Modern society is built on and functioning thanks to technological achievements and scientific understandings on who themself rest. Sometimes seems, that the civilization without these technical adorning could not survive and act. However, working strength (power, at first), all technologies, and also the source which satisfies basic lively needs (the food, water and air), is the nature. Although is the society, from the individual to professional and political circles, consciousness such, the essential importance of nature for our survival (amount environment has value as itself), survival of abiotic and biotic nature components never had been called into question as they are now. Reexamination of future activity and relationship toward the nature (and what is an realationship towards uouself), need the understanding of basic philosophical and theological assumptions about Holy, from which form ethical standards and finally laws, as the legalization and defining of moral and allowed behavior, how inside societies, so and towards natural surroundings.

Key words: environment, ethics, ecological ethics, ecological discrimination, ecological racism
