An Anthropological Crisis

  • Roberto Marchesini

摘要

The major environmental crises we face—such as climate change, biodiversity loss, disruption of homeostatic cycles, deforestation, and the risk of pandemics—demonstrate that this is not merely an alteration of our habitat, evoked in the powerful metaphor of a house on fire, but fundamentally an anthropological crisis. The ecological crisis forces us to confront ourselves, both in terms of the vulnerabilities inherent in human nature and in relation to the cultural paradigm that has sought to sever humanity’s fate from the biosphere. This vision is not only rooted in anthropocentrism but also in a divisive conception of the human that has led to the devaluation of the non-human and, concurrently, to the neglect of the reality of a shared destiny.
