Abstract

The article presents a new view on minimizing and overcoming the consequences of the violation of coevolutionary "equilibrium" in the system "nature-society". The analysis shows that there are no differences in the system of eco-values, neither in the European integration nor in a certain state context. The modern movement of environmental consciousness reveals certain contradictions between the perception of environmental ethics and real actions and environmental practices. It is proved that the time factor (delayed awareness of threats and intensification of actions) requires a rapid response of mankind to the environmental situation and the involvement in the action of all worldview systems of values, especially philosophical. Based on theoretical reconstruction and the method of generalization of ideas, philosophical representations of the greening of ethics and greening of ecology are explained. Public "translation" of philosophical reflection from academic language to a wide range of fundamental values of ecosophy a) will help assess the threatening context of world development as one that requires not so much scientific and technological advances as the education of a person where the development of ecosystems occurs in various unstable trajectories; b) argues the inability to overcome environmental problems by the efforts of one country; c) prove the need for the transition of man from the level of everyday consciousness, where values cover the immediate range of needs and do not contain a "cultural code" to prevent the spontaneous development of the system "nature-society"; d) expand the experience of ecophilic traditions, including mythology, religion, art, everyday worldview, etc. The most important meaning of representations is the provision that humanity must find combining meanings and values, not for perception and reasoning, but to reconcile private interests with universal and to accept them as imperatives and motives for urgent joint action.
