Abstract
Humanities have important roles to play in actions aimed on preventing environmental degradation. They present the deep analysis of cultural determinants and conditions of ecological crisis, they elaborate a new dimension in relations between humans, culture and nature, they provide necessary justifications and motivations for environment – friendly actions, they build the ecological consciousness and create environmentally-oriented attitudes and activities. This humanistic dimension of the environment protection is often defined as the ecological humanism. Its integrate constituents are newly evolved disciplines, such as ecological philosophy, environmental ethics, eco-aesthetics, ecological psychology, eco-theology, eco-pedagogy. Here we present a concise characteristic of this field and the sub-disciplines comprised within this area of thinking.
