The human experience of today's environmental crisis has led to a new orientation in which interdisciplinary and integrative theoretical foundations are very consciously discussed and consequences for practice are derived from them. The starting point assumed by this orientation, that the environmental question is basically the question of anthropology, entails the further assumptions. First is that the ecological crisis primarily “documents” the biologically civilized presence of man in nature; According to this assumption, the ecological crisis is not only the problem of the future of life in nature, but also and much more the problem of man's presence in nature. Second is that man is by nature the cultural being; According to this assumption, our phylogenetic adaptations in many cases only fulfill their species-preserving function in interaction with culturally handed-down behavioral patterns.
