Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the issue of the development of the relationship between nature and ethics in a world that exhibits the features of a post-natural epoch. The discussion includes the character of: pragmatic ethics, shaped by economic and material reasons, philosophical ethics, based on anthropological and axiological principles, and environmental ethics as the field of the value abstractions of the biosphere. The author traces the development of the relationship between man and nature, from the mythical and religious thought, via philosophy and science, to bioethics. Through the philosophical discourse of the ancient, modern-age and contemporary thought, the author reflects on the causes of the contemporary vulnerability of nature and suggests some possible solutions.
