Pro-ekologiczna metanoia współczesnego człwoieka jako warunek przetrwania cywlilizacji ludzkiej
A Pro-ecological Metanoia of the Contemporary Human Being as a Condition for the Survival of Human Civilization

Summary/Abstract: An intensifying megatrend of ecological threats has indicated that human civilization is heading towards its own self-destruction. As a result, one must understand the need for radical change in the current global strategy of humankind, and to rebuild the current model of civilization progress. This is the core of sustainable development. From this point of view, it is only possible to rescue modern civilization through the vast and determined reconstruction of a traditional, anthropocentric worldview which favours environmental awareness. This mental change must be profound and groundbreaking, hence the use of the Greek notion of metanoia. In leaving the anthropocentric position and ascension to a level where there is a holistic sense of oneness with nature, a new way is opened up through which the contemporary human being can perceive the world. It allows her to climb to a higher level of species evolution, evolving into homo ecologicus. Without such a metanoia there will come „the end of the world as we know it”.
