Abstract

This academic paper is a philosofical proposition for an ecological conversion with the support of: A new environmental religiosity, an ethic of care and human alterity as reason of ends and not means. The article suggests the change of attitude towards nature, because a large part of humanity has lost communion with nature, and has changed its image of the world, which it treats as an entity for use and waste.
