Keywords:
Global ecological crisis, philosophy of ecology, humanity and nature, environmental ethics, anthropocentrism, sustainable development, ecological consciousness, climate change, environmental degradation, ecological responsibility.Abstract
This article examines the philosophical essence of the global ecological crisis and analyzes the contradictions between humanity and nature within the context of modern civilization. The study explores the major causes of environmental degradation, including excessive industrialization, technological expansion, consumer culture, and irrational exploitation of natural resources. Special attention is devoted to the anthropocentric worldview that has contributed to ecological imbalance and environmental instability on a global scale. The research highlights that the ecological crisis is not only an environmental issue but also a moral, social, and philosophical problem related to human values and ecological responsibility. Through philosophical and interdisciplinary analysis, the article discusses the impact of climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and ecological disasters on human civilization and sustainable development. The study also emphasizes the importance of ecological ethics, environmental consciousness, and international cooperation in restoring harmony between society and nature. The article concludes that overcoming the global ecological crisis requires fundamental changes in human attitudes toward the environment and the implementation of sustainable development principles in all spheres of life.Downloads
