Revisitar o papel dos humanos, num planeta em rápida mudança
Main Article Content
Resumo
O papel dos humanos em relação ao resto do mundo criado há muito é debatido nos círculos cristãos. Agora, a premente imanência da mudança climática coloca esses papéis, baseados na suposição de um clima estável, em perigo. Este artigo começa por abordar o modo como os modelos antropológicos habitualmente usados em ecoteologia, incluindo os do cuidado, do sacerdócio e outros, começam a alterar-se à sombra das mudanças climáticas. Construída com base nesse argumento, apresenta-se uma reflexão sobre como a ciência da ecologia restaurativa, uma das ciências fundamentais do cuidado ecológico, está relacionada com essas diferentes visões do papel da humanidade.
