Abstract

In this article I would like to highlight the topic of environmental vices which have a tendency to manifest in relation with the natural world, trying to bring to surface, to describe and to place them in the bigger landscape of alienation towards natural environment. The subject of vices is just a small component in the image of discouraging behaviour shown in relation to non-human persons and ecosystems as a whole. My will is to stage the fundamental features of human uprooting from the natural world and to have a significant contribution in identifying with accuracy the dysfunctional resorts of human character, with the goal of healing this moral pathology. Needless to say, I would try to establish the main reasons which led to this rupture between human and the living world, and to describe the features of the character vices which endanger the consistency of connections inside the biosphere. As a conclusion, I will summarize the above-mentioned topics, with a strong emphasis on a better understanding of the relationship between the individuals and the natural environment.
