Summary/Abstract: In the philosophy of human’s relations with nature, the idea of transformation of a conscious consciousnness, orienting towards transpersonal identification with natural environment and emphasizing the problems of philosophical ontology and psychology is gaining more and more popularity. This trend of ethics is called deep ecology, and its originator is A. Naess. Other authors following the above-mentioned ideas or expanding the perception of and care for a larger ecological Self have created ecosophies which are very similar to those of Naess. W. Fox suggests to call deep ecology transpersonal by changing the usual axiological evaluation of the relation with natural living environment into a psychologically new “transpersonal” meaning.
