Problematyka etyki środowiskowej w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II

Abstract

Eco-ethics is a subject of consideration in many of John Paul II’s writings and speeches. The Pope successfully combines the questions of environmental protection and ethical message which is the usual quality of His attitude and of Christian tradition both in its Benedictine and Franciscan formula. The author defines the attitude of Pope John Paul II towards eco-ethics dilemmas in terms of liberate anthropocentrism tending to theocentrism, for the reason the Supreme Being is the definitive justification for eco-ethics principles.
