An environmental problem is the important issue of mankind. It should be treated main discourse in our period. There are many assertions related to environment but they are not to be clearly classified because of miscellaneous paradigm. It is possible to classify into two category on the basis of human attitude toward nature and environmental problem. One of them is anthropocentrism and the other is ecocentrism. This classification is helpful to understand various environmental discourses. Owing to different paradigm approach, anthropocentrism and ecocentrism have different concept for environmental problem. Anthropocentrism is powerful to the real life in behalf of economic rationalism. But ecocentrism is important for the only settlement of environmental problem in ecocentric perspectives. Therefore a new scheme for environmental problem solving is necessary through combining the merits of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism.
