One of the key problems of the modern world is the entrance onto the path of sustainable development, where in theory, the concept of sustainable devel-opment implies steady progress on economic and social in harmony with the natural environment, to ensure a high quality of life for present and future gen-erations. Thus, this article raises the question of how a man, and more broadly: the progress of humanity, is the starting point and also the point of arrival of this concept? For ambivalence (which can easily be noted here), creates a varie-ty of dilemmas, which opens a new field of discussion in various disciplines, including philosophy, and bioethics. One of them (speaking more in detail) is whether the concept of sustainability in the matter of human development and environmental protection means the same as the Aristotelian principle of “golden mean”? The answer, which is given, is negative. The author proposal: is the need to assimilate the principle of the “golden mean” in the framework of the concept of human development and environmental protection. This will be her love for the human person, discovered in a free and flawless conscience.
