REASONS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE ECOLOGICAL MOVEMENT EMERGENCE TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT IN GERMANY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Abstract
The ecological movement emergence in the Federal Republic of Germany and its subsequent, rapid politicization, on which wave the Green Party is institutionalized, was due to a reasons complex set for socio-economic, political and spiritual origin, passed through the relationships existing system prism between human society and the environment. These reasons? combination initially gave the ecological movement a specific features number, which presence greatly complicates its socio-political essence knowledge, since the latter did not always acquire external forms of manifestation adequate to it. The reasons in question that gave rise to the environmental movement, although it received fairly wide coverage in the social science literature of the Federal Republic of Germany, remained a discussion subject for a long time. It was pointed out that the environment state was deteriorating as a science and technology uncontrolled development result, which was acquiring an increasingly hostile character for man as a natural being. The article examines the ecological movement in the Federal Republic of Germany as a protest reaction against the civilization industrial model, which components are the social life commercialization and bureaucratization, as well as a response to organizational and political activity associated with the population's awareness of the "technical-industrial civilization coming crisis." After analyzing the ecological movement composition in Germany, the authors conclude that, in addition to "pure" environmentalists, there can be found industrial system critics as a whole, who want to live in a new society open to spiritual changes and citizen participation in making socially significant decisions.
