Summary/Abstract: The text deals with some problems that facing research of the environment. Beside conceptual issues adherent to Serbian language, solving of real environmental problems in general, should resolve the dichotomy anthropocentrism vs. biocentrism which stems from the conflicting human nature and appears just unsustainable in ecology. Among other topics, the meaning of the argument of "ecology as a new great narrative" which enables continued progress and mutual legitimization of science and democracy is being examined from the point of view of their universal relevance. It also deals with effectiveness of theories that implicate the irrelevance of human kind for its own liberation from anthropocentric world-view which narrows the prospects of survival.
