摘要

This essay explores a resonant yet philosophically constrained dialogue between two conceptually divergent perspectives: Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ and Rosi Braidotti’s The Posthuman. While rooted in radically different metaphysical frameworks—one theocentric and transcendent, the other immanent and posthumanist—both articulate powerful critiques of anthropocentrism, technocratic paradigms, and the ecological devastation produced by extractivist economic models. Rather than proposing a theoretical synthesis, the essay argues that meaningful ethical resonance can emerge at the level of ecological orientation, practical sensibility, and shared critical concerns, even as their normative and ontological foundations remain irreducibly divergent. This dialogical engagement highlights how divergent worldviews may still generate analogous ethical implications for leadership, responsibility, and care. The essay situates this dialogue within a broader reflection on the marginalization of religious, moral, and metaphysical perspectives in contemporary academic discourse, particularly within business schools and management education. Responding to Pope Francis’ call for dialogue in Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum, the analysis extends the conversation to include secular, agnostic, and even antagonistic perspectives. In doing so, it proposes an interdisciplinary framework for humanistic management ethics capable of addressing ecological and social crises under conditions of philosophical pluralism.
