Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the mentality of our civilization, the structure of human life nowadays and to attempt to prove that under these the continual and progressive environmental deterioration is inevitable.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper investigates the ingredients of human life today, i.e. social political and economic aspects, combined all together.
Findings
Our civilization leads deterministically to an environmental deadlock.
Originality/value
The only reversal to the present situation is compulsory humanistic/classical education, which however is incompatible with the mentality of our civilization; the later heavily depended on technological progress.
