Philosophy of Ecology Today

The article deals with the formation and direction of development of modern environmental philosophy. It shows that the expansion of environmental subject matter in the second half of the 20th century caused the emergence of social ecology, human ecology, ecology of culture and other areas of environmental directions, promoted awareness of universality of laws of the relationship of the object and its environment, regardless of their constituent substrates. The study of these laws and their reflexive assessment formed the basis for the formation of the modern environmental philosophy. Environmental philosophy today is un area of philosophical research, which studies the philosophical foundations of socio-natural interactions. It contributes to the new civilizational problems of modern culture. Its development is linked to the need to rethink traditional views and attitudes. In ontological terms it draws attention to the analysis of the various explanatory diagrams of the structure of the world, their ordering and classification. Methodology of environmental philosophy promotes awareness of how new modern methodological constructs lead to innovative outputs beyond the existing standards. Philosophy of ecology professes new values and preferences, oriented to the idea of cooperation, mutual cooperation. Environmental philosophy requires the development and implementation of a new system of education and training, based on a holistic view of the synthetic natural world and the human world in their unity and interdependence of the indissoluble connection between man and nature. Environmental philosophy shows that alternativeness of proposed scenarios of environmental future of humanity must be overcome on the way of formation of a single synthetic presentation on the environmental future of mankind within the humanistic culture.
