Ecocentrism or the Attempt to Leave Antropocentricity

Abstract

With the emergence of industrialization as a social phenomenon, an event identifying the onset of dysfunctionality of the biotic community emerges: the issue of environmental sustainability. This question carries with it the need for expanding the views of traditional ethics that rests on anthropocentric theses. One of these approaches is ecocentrism, where the issue of the rights of individuals is crucial (whether it is just humans or people along with other living beings), stating that ecocentrism takes into account all participants in the biotic community as integral parts of the system. Logically, the mutual relations of the individuals of such a community and the consequences arising from their actions, which are the subject of research in this essay, are the main subjects of this position.
