Abstract

This paper deals with the relations among nature, man and life and in this context it questions the ecologically sustainable development. It looks for a philosophical reconciliation between the claims of physical eschatology that life was created during the cosmic big bang, and the social theory of sustainable development whichis anthropocentric in its essence. The disagreement from Kyoto, especially visible at the second conference in Johannesburg, is deepening every day so thatthe original concept of sustainable development is increasingly moving
toward a utopia, while new social theories (firstand foremost the theory of the new world order) are taking the upper hand. Sustainable development is more and moreunderstood as a utopia of postmodernism. The ecologization of
social consciousness designed at the beginning as a democratic swing towards sustainable development is
threatening to grow into a new ideology of postmodern colonialism. Modern scientific and theoretical
achievements, development of technology, and political changes on the world’s map now question the concept of
sustainable development conceived in Stockholm (1972) and pompously announced at the summit of chiefs of
states and governments in Rio de Janeiro (1992).
