Abstract
The article considers the possibility of creating a morally constituti ve ethics by using an evolutionary ontological concept of being. The a uthor considers that traditional morality, which grew primarily out of experience is a failure in the current ecological crisis. The new eco logical morality which is needed if we are to overcome this crisis wil l, through its ecological ethics, draw more heavily on the new philoso phical image of the world.
