In the presented article, the author provides a critical assessment of the terms ecosocialism, deep ecology, human ecology and ,integral ecology‘, which has entered common usage since the publication of the „Laudato si’“ encyclical. In the introduction, the author presents some of the views on the environment found in the Slovenian theological literature. He continues by analyzing the term ,ecology‘, arguing his view on why it incorporates the meaning of the term ,integral‘ by definition, and underlining the differences between ecological and sociological systems. In the conclusion, the author cautions against the appeal of the term ,integral ecology‘ and suggestsreplacing it with a term ,ecology and well-being‘.
