Aksjologiczne dylematy w epoce człowieka

The article is a critical outline of Ewa Bińczyk’s book “The Human Epoch. The rhetoric and stagnation of the Anthropocene”. Bińczyk’s book, the first such extensive study of the Anthropocene discourse in Poland, is analysed by the author of the text in terms of the axiological problems of the new era, especially of the change in the value system which determines the global environmental crisis. The article focuses on issues related to the search for a new methodology adapted to the time of an environmental crisis, on the potential of an interdisciplinary post-humanist discourse and on narratives contributing to the transformation of environmental awareness, not only on the part of representatives of scholarly circles but entire societies.
