Abstract

In this article, I analyze the idea of sustainable development from philosophical distance. I consider its genesis and working manner nowadays. On the ground of my consideration over the principles of the sustainable development I come to the conclusion that these principles are illusory and irrational, and that the possibility of the realization of this idea is little probable. Lofty idea of sustainable development became transformed in a tool of stupefaction and of deceiving of social masses. Elites of world authorities make use of it to assure their imperial governance over the world and further enriching. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that idea of sustainable development is partly fiction, illusion, utopia and swindle.
