| Description | The authors in this article treat the problem of the relation of the Judaeo-Christian tradition and the environmental crisis. It returns to the arguments of Lynn White and analyses them in detail, in order to show that an unproblematic acceptance or refusal of White’s attitude does not reflect the complexity of this relation. At the same time, the article fills the gap in Czech reflection of environmental thought by acquainting the reader with the conception of the philosopher Max Oelschlaeger, who allows us to see White’s arguments in a new light and puts paid to what the authors call ‘White’s Myth’. |
