Abstract
The world conference UNCED in Rio de Janeiro this summer has shown the close connection of present-day environmental problems with the countries' economies, as the firms causing the greatest incidents of pollution and environmental destruction showed to be the least ready to apply, in the economy, the measures which would bring the solution to the most difficult environmental problems. It appears important to consider the problem of the form of the business morality as required by the present-day environmental problems. The economy should be subordinated to man if the basic dimension of his essence is taken into account. It should then be subordinated to the environmental requirements as there is no real anthropocentrism without cosmocentrism. The situation requires new, holistic views on the world as well as a new life style. It is on the new - ecologic and cosmic - spirit to be forming nowadays man's ideas and actions - in the economy field as well.
