2000'li yıllarda çevre etiği yaklaşımları ve Türkiye

Abstract

Our ethical approach determines our relationships with the environment. For this reason, There are three basic approaches on relationships between human beings and the environment. These are anthropocentric, biocentric and ecocentric ethical approaches. Anthropocentric ethic tries to protect the environmet only for human beings. On the other hand, biocentric ethic includes the other living species within the ethical system. For the last ethical approach as ecocentrism totality of the nature and ecosystem must be protected. In Turkey, the last two ethical approaches are not effective in political, administrative and juridical areas. Turkish people and system’s approache to the environment still depends on protecting evironment only for human beings.
