Henryk Skolimowski’s Ecophilosophy in the Aspect of Philosophy of History

The presented text is an attempt to reconstruct the philosophy of history of Henryk Skolimowski – the idea can be extracted from his various works. The concept of eco-philosophy by Skolimowski is a de facto social philosophy that critically evaluates the present condition of human civilization. The rescue for it is postulated metanoia (change) of man of the new millennium. This necessary transformation of contemporary man into homo ecologicus, which is the central point of eco-philosophy, is based on a certain vision of history. On the one hand it shows the logic of the history that brings the humanity to the brink of a precipice, on the other, it spins an optimistic prospective reflection on the future of man almost mystically reborn as an active element of a higher level of human development – cosmocracy.
