Journal Title: Studies in Global Ethics and Global Education - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The basic idea of this article is the ecological perspective of the notion of responsibility. Especailly nowadays, in the times of ecological crisis this concept is endowed with essential importance. The paper analyzes the basic meanings of responsibility in the context of environmental concerns. It focuses on the requirements for responsibility, the resources and areas of responsibility, on the responsibility for the state of affairs, and above all on the local and global (planetary) responsibility. The notion and the value of responsibility have been grasped in a close connection with the notion of the value of solidarity and the category of ecological exclusion.
