Abstract (EN)

Many scientists, activists and philosophers have expressed their opinions on the source of environmental problems which drive the Biosphere to extinction. Some consider the current capitalist system as the source of disruption of environmental balance while according to others it is the industrial revolution and the population growth. Areas suitable for all living creatures are lost due to the ecologic crisis. Humanity has been struggling for searching optimal space and human from its sedentary until today. This search has reached a vital dimension at the present time. According to some alternative views, it is considered as the medium of the century of chaos/ disappearance we are in. This study addresses human-nature relationships within the context of mutualism without eliminating the bridges between logos and nous in onto-epistemic respect. The conception which does not understand the nous-logos dialect on the journey from nous to logos axis seeks for a solution to the ecological crisis by means of absolute mechanical solutions such as reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, use of home appliances consuming less energy etc. Though, such mechanical solution-based suggestions deepen the problem lasting for centuries rather than solving it. In today's world, it is necessary to make the concept of from oneness to togetherness predominant in order that human-nature relationships do not to lead further crisis. It is mandatory for space-human relationships in this century which is described as chaos age to be reconsidered, and even to be transformed along a radical theory-practice plane. The nature will only be recognized in this way and a communication will be ensured through ethics. In this research, the idea of a holistic Biospheric Ethics has been put forward in the ecological crisis which has become a huge problem from a local environmental problem.
