Abstract: During the 19th and 20th centuries, it was firmly believed that technical progress was a value that should not be specifically discussed, because its process was in accordance with a valid understanding of the position and relation of man and society to the nature contained in anthropocentrism: a man is in the center of the world, and Everything that is good for him is good for nature. The perniciousness of this relationship is increasingly manifested as an ecological crisis, the conditions of which are rising, and existing understandings can not offer a solution.
