Two spheres of social regulation are analysed in the study: the environment protection and agriculture. In the last decades, both of these areas have become frequently discussed topics in the media and in the public debates. Representatives of the environmental movements as well as the scientists have played an important role in promoting an environmental agenda in the political arena. The environmental aspects of the human activities have been incorporated into many legislative acts and regulations. The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has also been modified to fulfil the environmental requirements. The new concept of multifunctional agriculture, introduced in the reformed CAP, aspires to reflect the principle of sustainable development that seeks to take the economical, social, and environmental facets of agriculture equally into consideration. Focusing on the case of northern Slovakia, we analysed the context of launching the reformed CAP into agricultural practice using the example of the implementation of agro-environmental measures. Drawing on interviews with local farmers, we conclude that the main barrier to enlarging the participation in agro-environmental schemes is not due to the farmers' attitude to environmental or economic aspects, but to the social conditions of their agricultural enterprise.

This article introduces environmental education as a specific cultural work for exploring and creating meanings, values and practices related to environmentalism. Comparing the national curriculum's discourse of environmental education with the narratives of environmental education practitioners, the study examines ways in which ecological concepts as well as moral issues emerging from the ethics of care for the environment get translated into everyday language and activities. Particular attention is paid to conceptions of environmental knowledge and activities mediating an active involvement of pupils. Drawing on interviews with two groups of practitioners, the paper argues that the practice of environmental education is manifold and varies according to different settings and the interests of teachers and environmental activists. Finally, the author argues for the promotion of pedagogies of place which can advance practice in environmental education and provide a common, and at the same time sufficiently broad, framework for the field.

The article focuses on one of the groups of core motifs in Jozef Mihalkovič’s (b. 1935) poetry. Animals and life in the countryside in general play an important role in Mihalkovič’s verse and the poet often uses these in contrast to the world of buildings and new settlements. However, the countryside is not portrayed in an idyllic light here. On the contrary: Mihalkovič’s texts can be viewed as gripping environmental poetry. At the same time, the poet’s melancholy and nostalgia are acknowledgements of respect for nature and it is through empathy and sympathy that his early poetry resonates with his attitude towards nature. Intellectually, however, Mihalkovič tries to transfer the qualities of animals to situations that are highly unpoetic and concrete. In this way, he succeeds in creating novel connections and unexpected encounters which are frequently highly interesting. This, however, changes during the 1980s when only memories remain and pragmatic and “unpoetic” poetry in which animals are often replaced by things emerges.

It has been common in some cultural contexts to distinguish sharply between capitalism and communism, assuming conflicting concepts of freedom. The dichotomy has influenced some philosophy, real-world contests in politics, and popular discourse. In the West, often capitalism and markets have been associated, however questionably, with freedom and democracy. Different notions of freedom have circulated as a part of another ideological complex opposed to that of the West. However, environmentalisms of various sorts have increasing importance in suggesting newer types of freedom, previously less salient due to the overpowering capitalism-communism dichotomy. Abstract concepts of freedom influenced by the older capitalism-communism dichotomy need critique. Different environmentalisms, less centred on the old dichotomy, increasingly can be progressively connected with different freedoms-in-environments frameworks. New perceptions about freedom can emerge.

The author understands environmentalism as a stream of contemporary political philosophy based on the reflection of causes and possible effects of global environmental crisis as one of the most serious threats to current political system and global civilization as a whole. Considering the changes in social, technological and environmental starting conditions of the economic-political system – i.e. the consequences of the transition from the stable geologic-climate era of Holocene to the unstable era of Anthropocene – it is necessary to reconsider the basic premises, imperatives and conceptual frames of current economic-political system. The philosophical foundations of current economic-political system as well as the basic premises of environmentalism and concepts relevant to the reflection of current threats and risks were articulated in some of the writings of the founders of modern political thinking. The author’s focus is on the concept of civil and human rights, the concept of state of nature, and the concept of social contract, which could be of help in the examination of the crisis of current economic-political system as a whole and the environmentalism in particular. The author’s hypothesis is that the political philosophy of the 21st century must reflect the environmental preconditions and limits of the existence and forms of any economic-political system while taking into account that all economic and social activities have their impact on the quality and sustainability of the environment.

Bolívie: země indigenního environmentalismu? Několik úvah nad paradoxy bolivijského politického projektu

The article ponders over the environmental paradoxes of the Bolivian political project. The government of Morales aspires to establish a system based on social justice, environmentally conscious politics and the respect for the indigenous populations of the country. The new Political Constitution was adopted that guarantees the political, cultural and territorial rights of the indigenous groups and delineates a well-developed framework of the environmental protection. As one of the first states of the world Bolivia admitted the legal status of nature and adopted „Law of Mother Earth“. However, to these legislative measures contrasts sharply the economic strategy of the country, based almost exclusively on mining, industrialization and commercialization of the natural resources. The government of Morales intensified the mining of the fossil fuels and prepares the way for a gigantic project of mining and processing of lithium on the Bolivian salt flats. Socio-ecological consequences of these activities might be catastrophic. We think that the ambivalent environmental attitude of the government of Morales is caused, primarily, by its effort to match up two inconsistent principles: on the one hand the anthropocentric concept of economic growth, modernity and progress and on the other the indigenous concept of „good life“ that became the official moral-ethical principle of the Bolivian state.

The research examined in which extent the social attitude and the actual acting, respectively paying willingness match on the area of environmental protection, more specifically in the area of selective waste collection. The results revealed that the environmental legislation and investments do not always get support from the inhabitants. Despite the overall social support of the implementation, not all specific financial and application - aspects are supported widely. Besides the main hypothesis, the authors also examined aspects influencing the acting and paying willingness. Based on the research results one might conclude that the two strongest influencing factors are access to information and using democratic opportunities. Age plays a significant role as well: the youth and the elderly are less motivated than the middle-aged. Their hypothesis of the social distrust from the past being one of the most important obstacle to acting has been proved. Contrary to the hypothesis, this cannot be significantly influenced even by sanctions. Distrust in the other members of the society has a strong influence on the acting and paying willingness. Based on the results, one might assume that the drive of environmental acting is mainly the social solidarity towards future generations. This assumption is supported by the fact, that families with children have a more active environmental awareness. Religion and gender play less influence.
