摘要：The essay presents several methodological and philosophical problems connected with the theme fetishes in the environment. Analyzing the topic fetishes and the environment we could face the problem of philosophy of science: what does scientific knowledge means? Is it knowledge free of all theories and paradigms? Can we reject paradigm as a fetish? The result is that if objects - material and immaterial - are to be considered as the fetish, they should wear fetish attributes, such as hope, faith etc. It is important that we cannot a priori mark the fetish as something negative, neither in science nor in the environment.
