PLADOYER FOR THE DIALOGUE BETWEENECOLOGY, SCIENCE, THEOLOGY AND NEW-AGE

Abstract
The ecologic crisis is the expression of secular culture of the Modern, particularly of the man - nature relationship. Natural sciences being the ethos of the Modern are creating power. As they are based on mechanistic „paradigm“, they must be limited to what is permitted. „Being permitted“ is the legitimate area of theology and philosophy and only through them it might be possible to set the foundations of the responsibility towards the nature. „New-age“ connects natural sciences with mystique, the world, in the „new paradigm“, being monistic evolution of the spirit.
The differences of the disciplines are not satisfying to the ecology, thence the pladoyer for opening the dialogue between the interested parts, but, to give it more sense the rules adopted by the „International Association for Religious Freedom“ have been accepted.
