FROM ANTHROPOCENTRIC ETHICS TO BIOCENTRIC ETHICS

Nikola Visković ; Pravni fakultet, Split

Sažetak

Up to the present moment the "homo faber" had behaved to natural resources, including animals, as towards the objects over which he can rule, without limits and without care considering only his own interests. Within the limits of such attitude he was behaving relatively economically and with consideration (anthropocentric ethics) towards the resources. Today, the requirement is often posed - that man should take care of nature, particularly of other non-human creatures as the values by themselves. The essay warns of the need of such care (biocentric ethics) - on the given example of industrial raising of animals. It even proves the abolishment of such a cruel, ecologically harmful, economically irrational and for the human health dangerous way of raising domestic animals being in the direct interest for the man, as it represents the element of man's future sustainable development.
