Abstract

This paper aims to investigate how men, considered as creatures which interact in a precise environment both natural and social, may be the medium through which investigate the relation between humans and the world at the cross of ecoethics and ecopolitics.The first part will analyze the fundamental themes of ecoetics and ecopolitics, which will be put in dialogue with the words of Pope Francis. In the second part we will analyze the words of Edith Stein who, although distanced in time from the most contemporary themes, makes a lucid reflection on man, his place in the world and the way in which he interacts. In the third part, the results of the first two will be "put together" to understand if they are really functional for the resolution of the problems posed and, where appropriate, to highlight the limits or ideas that they intrinsically bring with them. In order to maintain this objective, two main texts will be taken into account. Edith Stein’s The Structure of the Human Person, which brings together the teachings of the author of the 1932-1933 courses, and Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Sì of 2015. Through the dialectical interaction between these two main texts, an attempt will be made to create an interrelationship between the three parts of this contribution, with the aim of understanding in such a way that these two texts can effectively represent some examples of the theoretical perspectives taken into account for the resolution of questions about man and the environment.

El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar cómo los hombres, entendidos como criaturas que interactúan dentro de un preciso entorno natural y social, pueden ser el medio a través del cual investigar la relación entre los seres humanos y el mundo en el cruce de la ecoética y la ecopolítica. La primera parte analizará los temas fundamentales de la ecoética y la ecopolítica, que se pondrán en diálogo con las palabras del Papa Francisco. En la segunda parte analizaremos las palabras de Edith Stein que, aunque alejada en el tiempo de los temas más contemporáneos, hace una lúcida reflexión sobre el hombre, su lugar en el mundo y la forma en que interactúa. En la tercera parte, los resultados de los dos primeros se "juntarán" para entender si son realmente funcionales para la resolución de los problemas planteados y, en su caso, para resaltar los límites o ideas que intrínsecamente traen consigo. Para conserguir este objetivo se tomarán en cuenta principalmente dos textos. De Edith Stein se considera La estructura de la persona humana, que reune las enseñanzas de la autora de los cursos 1932-1933 y, de Papa Francisco la encíclica Laudato Sì del 2015. A través de la interación dialectica entre estos dos textos se intentará crear una interrelación entre las tres partes de la contribución, con el objetivo de entender de que manera esos dos textos puedan representar efectívamente unos ejemplares de las perspectivas teorícas tomadas en cuenta para la resolución de las cuestiones sobre hombre y el medio ámbiente.
