A.N. Gulomova , Lecturer, Department of Social Sciences, Tashkent Medical Academy, UzbekistanAbstract
This exploration delves into environmental philosophy, analyzing diverse philosophical perspectives on environmental ethics, the human-nature relationship, and sustainability. From anthropocentrism to ecocentrism and deep ecology, ethical frameworks are scrutinized, revealing moral obligations towards nature. The study contrasts Western exploitation with indigenous harmonious paradigms, emphasizing interconnectedness. Sustainability emerges as a crucial theme, advocating for a balanced approach to resource use. By reassessing values and behaviors, this research underscores the imperative of responsible environmental stewardship and sustainable practices for a thriving future.
