ANTROPOSENTRİK KÜRESEL ÇEVRE POLİTİKALARININ EKOSENTRİK ÇEVRE ETİĞİ GÖRÜŞÜ ÇERÇEVESİNDE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
AN EVALUATION OF ANTHROPOCENTRIC GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF ECOCENTRIC ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS VIEW

Summary/Abstract: Environmental problems are dated back the start of the relations between human and nature. The structure of thought which gives direction to the relationship between human and nature is called environmental ethics. Anthropocentric environmental ethics, which assume that nature occuring as a tool for only serving for human usage, is the main reason that creates environmental problems. In the contrast of this view, there is ecocentric ethic approach that defends nature has an intrinsic value and ecosystem is a whole. Until today, many policies and strategies have been developed and many contracts have been signed about environmental problems. The aim of this study is to examine the reasons why environmental problems have gradually increased instead of being entirely solved although policies and strategies developed. The outcome of this study is that since the environmental policies produced in order to solve environmental problems and to protect the environment are mostly prepared within the framework of anthropocentric environmental ethics, real problems of environmental problems cannot be solved and these problems become more complicated every day.
