»The Ecological Problem«, Construction or Reality – And Possible Solutions

Teza i polazište za razmatranje ovog pitanja je: »ekološki problem« je jedan od mogućih problema koji su nastali tijekom niza historijskih epoha u povijesti čovječanstva. Poznato je da svaka historijska epoha ima svoje dominantne probleme koji imaju biti neodloživo riješeni, no jesu li svi stvarni problemi ljudskog života, to je pokazala povijest Ono što možemo sa sigurnošću tvrditi je, da su oni bili izraz sveukupnih konstelacija društvenih grupa i pojedinaca u svakom posebnom društvenom sistemu, a isto tako da su nastajali i bili definirani ovisno o stupnju spoznaje svake historijske epohe — njenim kulturnim, političkim i ekonomskim stanjem. Definirani problemi su ovisili o: 1. dostignutom stupnju historijskog razvoja, 2. ciljevima i efektima kojima su se vodile društvene grupe u njihovu konstruiranju, 3. stupnju značaja koji se pripisuje pojedinom problemu, 4. mogućnostima za rješenje problema. Ove četiri analitičke jedinice služe kao metodološki naputak za praćenje predmeta istraživanja, dok se u stvarnosti sve prožimaju međusobno se nadopunjujući.The basic hypothesis and starting point for reflecting upon this issue is the following: »the ecological problem« has developed through a succession of historical epochs in the history of mankind. We know that each historical epoch has its dominant problems which ought, due to their definition, be solved without delay, but only history has been able to prove whether those were the true problems of human life. What we can affirm with certainty is: that they were the manifestation of all the constellations of social groups and individuals in each particular social system, and also that they had emerged and were defined depending on the degree of knowledge of each historical epoch — its cultural, political and economic position. The problems defined depended on: 1) the achieved stage of historical development, 2) the goals and effects the social groups were led by while constructing them, 3) the point of sigificance attributed to a certain problem, 4) the possible solutions to the problems. These four analytical items serve as methodological instruction for following up the subject of research, while in real life they are intertwined mutually, complementing each other
