Abstract
The
content of environmental education at any level of an educational
system seems to be evident and universal because of the gravity of
contemporary environmental challenges. However obvious differentiation
of environmental knowledge is an unresolved issue both in educational
practice and in philosophy of environmental education. The environmental
education on the whole and ecology as a course at school or university
are determined by technological, social, political, legal and cultural
factors. Besides, environmental education and its philosophical
foundation depend on actual peculiarities of a country development. The
factors influencing philosophical reasoning about environmental
education in contemporary Russia and revealed in the paper are the
following: the reactualization of non-Marxist traditions in Russian
philosophy, educational tradition of knowledge paradigm, socially
inactiveness of Russians, depending on state decisions, bureaucratic
organization of science branches.
