Ecological Responsibility as a Significant Domain of Human Responsibility: Local and Global Dimensions
Journal Title: Studies in Global Ethics and Global Education - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
In the era of global ecological crisis responsibility for the state of the biosphere (ecological responsibility) stands as one of the most important areas of human responsibility. It is impossible to analyze the phenomenon of environmental responsibility in isolation from the phenomenon of responsibility at all (in general) and its ontic conditions. The carried out analysis of the selected ontic conditions of taking responsibility demonstrates the conditions for taking ecological responsibility. This analysis allows to explain i.a. the close relationship between incurring ecological responsibility at the local and global levels. Ecological responsibility is always carried out at the local level but it has both local and global meaning due to the effects of complying or non-complying with ecological responsibility. These effects should be borne in mind in the process of making decisions about education, politics, or economy in such a way that that they do not increase the existing ecological risk.
