Philosophical and methodological bases of overcoming the global environmental crisis or the foundations of eschatological methodology
Abstract
Philosophical and methodological principles of solving the global environmental crisis are considered in the article. The need to unite the efforts of ecologists and philosophers to overcome it was proved. The philosophical causes of the global crisis were found to be the materialistic world outlook orientation and the spiritual imperfection of man which creates destructive phenomena in the life of man, society and in the relationship between man and nature. Taking into account the destructive nature of human activity, a more accurate name for the global ecological crisis was proposed – the “anthropological-global catastrophe”. Overcoming the catastrophic trends requires improving the moral qualities of a person and changing the determination of their life activities. The authors have formulated the main provisions of the eschatological methodology, which consists of three components: the spiritual improvement of a person, the development of a personal society and the harmonization of relations between man and nature. The authors proposed using the metaphysical theory of a personality as the basis of human activity, society and human relations with nature. This made it possible to explain the causes of the anthropological-global catastrophe both at the level of human and social existence as well as human relations with nature. The future of the human community is possible only in case of the fundamental reduction of human destructiveness. It has been proved that teleological determination plays an important role in overcoming catastrophic trends. In the conditions of globalization, the humanity must realize themselves as a transcendental subject of the activity, impose a taboo on the growth of material production and consider it a kind of a spiritual one and introduce determination of the future
