O biomorficznej życzliwości do przyrody
On Biomorphic Benevolence to Nature

Summary/Abstract: Edward Osborne Wilson formulated the biophilia hypothesis according to which biophilia is a tendency to focus on life and life-like processes. The status of this hypothesis is controversial among the natural, social and environmental sciences as well as in environmental ethics. On the methodological level, among other things, the charge of non-falsifiability is made; ecological ethicists criticize the hypothesis for its anthropocentric implications. In this article, we propose a philosophical interpretation of biophilia as a form of biomorphism, according to which the concept of substantive being, values and norms of morality are based on the paradigm of living being.
