The Nature and the Human

Snježan Hasnaš

Sažetak

The relation between the human and the nature looks like a trivial problem. However, it reveals a lot of new considerations which speak of existence of many serious problems related to the science, ethics, philosophy and social theories. Those considerations take us to the historical and philosophical turning points. They also give us some models that made some important believes in understanding human-nature relation such as: mechanistic and materialistic view (F. Bacon, R. Descartes, J. Locke etc.) and a critical review of, for example, at least two more modern examples of that relation (H. Arendt and J. Rifkin). Some of those principals will be critisized from such critical philosophies like those of Max Horkheimer or Theodor Adorno. They critisize any misuse of mind as formal mind. They think that history of mind should be restored and thus mind should be studying anew great traditions of objective mind against the tradition of subjective one. Contemporary development of the science brought us two possible approaches to the problem: biotechnological and philosophicaly-anthropological one. The conclusion is made of thoughts and questiones about problems of bioethics and biopolitics.
