Role of religious thoughts and philosophical notions in the emergence of environmental crisis and founding of modern economy

Nowadays, new philosophical topics are concentrating on exploring the influence of theoretical and cultural views in shaping up behavioral patterns of man and in the development of modern sciences. Many philosophers believe that talking about shaping up of social sciences in the modern world without relevant philosophical and cultural concepts is almost impossible. In other word, philosophy is the conceptual prerequisite for the creation of such sciences. This paper is an attempt to explore the role of religious thoughts, as a cultural factor, and also philosophical notions in the emergence of environmental crisis and in the establishment of modern economy as the embodiment of socio-economic behaviors of mankind.
