Human Existence: Formation of Ecological Culture

The article presents the topic of the ecology of human existence in the context of the "human-environment" relationship, in which the environment is understood not only as nature, but also as the world created by humans - culture, technicized world. In the conditions of the technicization of all aspects of the human life and world, it is the preservation of the human's ecological attitude to the environment that becomes a real problem and an object of my concern. Does the situation of the technicized world call into question the ways of human existence as they took shape in people's social and cultural evolution? The question is ideological, requiring the definition/formation of the initial theoretical attitudes of the culture of a modern human and understanding/solving it in the mainstream of a philosophical approach. Bringing this issue to the philosophical level of reflection requires not only critical thinking, analysis of the current situation, but also "projectivity", proposing options for the optimal way to solve urgent problems of human relations with the environment. As an example and theoretical grounds for a philosophical understanding of the posed question, a concise dictionary Ecology of Human Existence is offered. This is a dictionary of "input" terms, a conditional "alphabet", in which primary and necessary information is collected for the formation and development of conceptual ideas that reveal the content of the ecology of human life in its various aspects. One of the important and achieved goals of the dictionary was the consolidation of Russian philosophers to comprehend the scientific resource and the practical potential of the topic "ecology of human existence", as well as to create a unified ideological foundation for solving environmental problems. Through the clarification of concepts, the dictionary gives guidelines for the formation of ecological culture, as well as responsibility and literacy in the individual and social consciousness, so necessary today for building optimal, harmonious human relationships with the environment, the natural world and culture (technicized world). The modern human is faced with one of the main global problems today - the problem of the ecological crisis generated by the intensive development of the technical and technological side of the human world. However, this does not mean that the ecological approach is against the technological one. It is built on the basis of the logic of the inter-proportionality of the human and the techno-technologized world, on maintaining proportionality, correlating the possibilities of full-fledged reproduction and development of each "principle" - human and technical - in their orientation towards each other. That is, the ecological approach is based on the principle of optimality in relations between the parties when the best opportunities for development, for the realization of the internal potential of each party are created.
