The paper points out the need to verify the vision of man’s place on Earth, erroneously based so far on the anthropocentric concept. At present, it should result from a biocentric perspective, in which at the existential level man occupies an equal position with other organisms in nature, but using his capacities for rational thinking, he regulates environmental changes on a micro and macro scale so as to enable the development of civilisation and the simultaneous renewal of nature’s resources. This can allow sustainable development to be achieved by harmoniously combining economic growth with environmental requirements and participation in civil society building. Adequate university-wide education in this area is needed to create sustainability. In a university, it should be conducted in every field of study. The aim of the publication is to show the global trend towards using the concept of a university subject for teaching sustainable development: home economics and technologies in the world with the possibility of implementation in Poland. The authors also propose a new take on the issue and a dissemination of the above considerations towards homo-ecocentrism.
