Abstract

The utterance presents three main positions defining the attitude of man towards the natural environment: anthropocentrism, biocentrism and moderate (weak) anthropocentrism. Anthropocentrism is a traditional position, it places the human world over nature and accepts its objective character. It allows for the utilitarian and instrumental treatment of nature. Biocentrism proposes radically different way of understanding the world and the place of man in the world. It incorporates man to the natural world and to the biological processes of life. Without diminishing the importance of his spiritual dimension it treats the man as one of other beings. Moderate (weak) anthropocentrism clearly delimits the scope to which man can exploit natural resources, attempts to reconcile the anthropocentrism – biocentrism opposites and pro- poses the philosophy of development which respecting the interest of man does not neglect well-being of nature and tries to find the mechanisms of harmonious bio- and anthroposphere co-existence.

Keywords:
