Very often thematic classifications serve the purpose of presenting the typical user’s point of view language reality, which places the man in the centre of the linguistic universe. For that reason it is important mention the term of anthropocentrism in this context. The topic of this article is not to define this term, but rather to show varieties of manifestation of this category which is presented by authors of this classification. In this work there are considered the most popular both European and Polish thematic classification of lexicon, which are selected not only from dictionaries but also from varieties of researches on vocabulary. In thematic classification it can be observe associated but different meaning of this same term. Anthropocentrism is very often the result of ideological decision of the author of this classification, which human is placed in the centre of divided language universum in the main classification scheme. Anthropocentrism can also be shown in the different way. In many classification schemas in which the topic human isn’t explicitly presented, it’s manifested implicitly as the main term, due to the fact that thematic fields are chosen just from the perspective of human experience, which mirrors anthropocentric character of vocabulary and its varieties. So anthropocentrism in the second mining has majority in numbers of fields immediately considered man topic, even in the divisions presenting scientific vison od reality. It’s also difficult to state which fields are the measure of anthropocentrism. In the opinion of some linguistic researchers, sometimes the precise order of the fields becomes the proof of anthropocentrism. These statements are more vivid if they are compared with thematic classifications conducted from the scientific or theocentric point of view. The discussion regarding anthropocentrism of thematic classifications in vocabulary is important, because the understanding of the above described term often can influence on the researcher’s conclusions.

The empirical data was collected by means of a questionnaire in 2014 and 2015 on a representative sample of 1000 inhabitants of the Kuyavian and Pomeranian province. The respondents were asked to address 16 statements that related to some of the issues of environmental ethics including: value of human life in the face of the threat of overpopulation and an ensuing need to reduce the population, validity of human interests in view of nature’s needs, priorities in environmental protection, as well as the principle of redress that specifies the extent of compensation of human induced damage to the environment. Each of the mentioned problems was presented for assessment in the form of four statements

W niniejszym artykule autorzy prezentują wyniki badań własnych nad postawami wobec czterech wybranych dylematów rozpatrywanych na gruncie etyki środowiskowej. Pomiaru empirycznego dokonano przy użyciu kwestionariusza ankiety w latach 2014–2015 na 1000-osobowej, reprezentatywnej próbie mieszkańców województwa kujawsko- pomorskiego. Respondenci zostali poproszeni o ustosunkowanie się do 16 stwierdzeń, których treść odnosiła się do takich zagadnień, jak kwestia wartości życia ludzkiego w obliczu groźby przeludnienia i postulatów związanych z ograniczeniem liczby populacji ludzkiej, znaczenie interesów ludzkich w kontekście dobra przyrody, priorytetowe cele ochrony środowiska, a także zasady zadośćuczynienia określającej zakres rekompensowania szkód poczynionych przez działalność człowieka w środowisku przyrodniczym. Każdy z wymienionych czterech problemów został przedstawiony ankietowanym do oceny w formie 4 stwierdzeń dopasowanych pod względem aksjologicznym do obowiązującego w etyce środowiskowej podziału na stanowiska antropocentryczne i biocentryczne.

This article is theoretically grounded in a reflection on the discursive-material knot, which uses a macro-(con)textual approach to discourse, but also allocates a non-hierarchical position to the material, recognizing its agency. The article uses the ontological model to further theorize the discursive-material struggles of, and over, nature, and in particular of non-human animals. These theoretical frameworks are then deployed to reflect on the “Silencing/Unsilencing Nature” project (and its diverse subprojects). This is an arts-based research project which aims to unpack the discursive-material relationship between humans and nature, and how nature often has been silenced, focusing on the position of the wolf in the zoo assemblage, and how these animals are discursively and materially entrapped. At the same time, the “Silencing/Unsilencing Nature” project investigates how this situation can be changed, and how their voices can still be made audible, gain more strength and become further unsilenced.
