Abstract

The starting point of this article is recognizing the anthropological character of the environmental crisis. It contains information about the scope of human involvement in this crisis. The articles concerns first, man as the object of the environmental crisis then, man as the subject of the environmental crisis and finally, man as the guaranteed master of overcoming the environmental crisis. The first case considers man as a victim of the crisis and therefore, discusses his experience of its negative effects on the bodily, psychological and spiritual dimensions. The second case indicates man as the main perpetrator of the crisis and therefore, focuses on the biologically and culturally conditioned human abuse with respect to the environment. The third case refers to man as the sole guarantor of taking control and overcoming the environmental crisis. The main goal here is formation of  natural environment friendly to man, and a man friendly to his natural environment.
