title: [Awareness of problems in the affluent society].
abstract: The paper discusses the question how we recognise existing problems in our rich and wealthy society with particular respect to modern medical care. This is explained by using zoonosis as an example demonstrating the present spirit of the age in its desperate ambivalence between apathy and permanent alarm. It is necessary to understand that the so called crisis of nature which is broadly discussed in public represents in fact a crisis of man.
