Nakana nam je prikazati problem ekologije u novoj religioznosti u razmišljanju sociologa religije Željka Mardešića. Polazeći od fenomenološke i antropološke analize svetoga u postmodernitetu, Mardešić analizira pojavu nove religioznosti i njezine društvene učinke. U tom kontekstu panoramski i sintetički obrađuje pojavu ekoloških tema u novim religijskim pokretima: od adventista i apokaliptičkih zajednica, preko skupina Eko života, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesha, Hare Krišna, Sai Babe do francuskih aumista Mandaron i velike duhovne struje New Agea. Mardešić zaključuje kako svako bavljenje društvenim učincima religije mora uključiti i religijsko otkriće ekologije u posmodernitetu. I nova religioznost i ekologija nastupaju kao kritika i ispravak pogubnih učinaka moderniteta te se zalažu za holističku antropologiju i panteistički svjetonazor.; Our intention is to show the problem of ecology in new religiosity according to the thoughts of Željko Mardešić, a sociologist of religion. Starting from the phenomenological and anthropological analysis of the sacred in post modernity, he analyzes the emergence of new religiosity and its social effects. In that context, he panoramically and synthetically deals with the emergence of ecological themes in new religious movements: from Adventists and apocalyptic communities through the groups of Eco Life, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesha, Hare Krishna, Sai Baba to the French Aumists Mandaron and great spiritual currents of the New Age. Mardešić concludes that any involvement in the social effects of religion necessarily includes religious discovery of ecology in post modernity. Both new religiosity and ecology appear as criticism and correction of the disastrous effects of modernity, and advocate for holistic anthropology and pantheistic worldview.
