ECOETHICS AND RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THE PLANET IN THE REFLECTION OF SELECTED THEORISTS.

Ecoethics and its various forms are an important phenomenon today. The bad ecological situation and the threat of the ecological collapse of the planet have been the subject of reflection by many theorists. These include multidisciplinary scientists, philosophers and ethicists. In our paper, we focus on the parallel presentation of different approaches by theorists from different industries. We present the biologization of economics, Heidegger's reflection of man's predatory relationship to the present, Ehrlich's ecoethics in the form of the reduction of human enterprise, Naess's ecophilosophy without ecoethics, and Abenque’s ecological imperative. A certain common ground can be found in the comparison of the given approaches. This is respect for the natural groupings of life in nature, the absence of an exploitative approach to nature and the subordination of society to the primacy of nature. These principles should be translated into recommended models of human behavior towards nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
