Abstract

This paper tries to understand the importance of talsing into account the ecologic substract of human existence. The sociological anthropocentrism would appear to that understanding. There is an inherent duality in the human existence. The human as a thread in the web of the great biosphere life and also as the creator of a particular distinctive "environment". This duality asks for an analysis of the relation between biology. This paper also develops an environmental sociology.
