ABSTRACT:

The problem of the ecology-oriented society formation in the context of the communitarist theory of “good society” as a condition of overcoming of global ecological crisis is considered in this article. Its essential characteristics and valuable bases are investigated. Ideas, ideals, principles and purposes as forms of values implementation in general and ecology-oriented values in particular are considered. The values typology from the point of view of their value and the importance in the context of ecologyoriented society are shown. The ecology-oriented society essence is analyzed through a prism of absolute positive values which are capable to focus qualitatively a person and human society on harmonious interaction with themselves, with people around, with the nature in general. It is claimed that it is the ecology-oriented society formation mechanism which has to be an axiological element as the basis - values which have (must have) primary significance in comparison with other social norms regulating direct impact on subjects’ behavior.
