The Moral-philosophical Implication of Anthropocentrism – Non-anthropocentrism Dilemma

Abstract

The article examines the effects of discussions on anthropocentrism and non-anthropocentrism (in its different versions) to a philosophical notion of morality. This discussion in environmental ethics as a particular field of applied ethics has given an opportunity for rethinking the concept of morality and understanding moral relations as the ones, which include either subject-subject relations, or subject-object relations.
