The Postnonclassical Methodology in the Building of Ethical and Ecological Knowledge
Abstract
The phase of development of ecological ethics in the context of contemporary methodological paradigm is analyzed. Definition of of Ecology acquires a new scientific status, meaning it is not so much «science» as the mental environment in which combines research, ideological, philosophical and organizational principles of specific resource management. Modern knowledge was conditional on environmental, social and ethical aspects. New methodological constructs are based on the synthesis of knowledge as the humanities and natural sciences. The result is a theory of ekotcentrism, biocentrism and ekobiocentrism. An important aspect of methodological aspirations of the new science is the direction for the future. For socio-natural approach to ecological basis aims to predict the future design and partial society
