Antropología ecológica un sendero para la paz ecológica

Abstract

In this text it is intended to make a study, from the social sciences, and natural sciences, showing epistemological and practical advances, in the advent of an emerging paradigm, that of human ecology or Ecological anthropology, fruit of the paradigm of complexity that allows understand that the possibilities of knowledge are different and multiple in as opposed to a model that has prevailed for a long time and has conditioned the current society, as has been the hegemonic model unilinear, which favored and allowed the development of advanced capitalism; this model is deeply rooted in all epistemological, social structures; conditioning the diverse cultures, creating an anti-ecological anthropology of use and disposal; strongly held in evolutionary theories and the social Darwinism that allowed to justify the exploitation of the excess of Earth's resources, reaching the current planetary crisis; such as the environmental problem, overpopulation, resource depletion, climatic alteration, spoliation of the land to the extreme; putting at risk planetary biodiversity and degrading the human being himself, the callousness on the other, extreme poverty. That indicates a poverty epistemological and spiritual, which has not been able to respond to the demands of this environmental crisis, which has become a social and cultural problem. These crises are anthropic in nature, exposing the fractures that exist in human nature that tends to value having more than being. For those the efforts to arrive at a change of mentality, a search for meaning, are proposed by ecological anthropology, in the search for peace ecological; which at the same time are the same assumptions that religion provides, especially that of the Catholic confession, as contributed by Pope Francis in his Encyclical Laudato Si and the same Pan-Amazonian Synod convened to October, in his proposal for integral ecology and ecological conversion.
