As mil faces de Gaia ensaios sobre ciência, espiritualidade e Ecologia

Abstract

Abstract: The essays that make up this thesis are dedicated to the reflection of issues immanent to the ethical-political responsibility that each of us must cultivate. What we see in contemporary society is a growing destruction of nature, whether in the name of capital, accumulation and / or technology. But, what the human does not realize is that by installing chaos, he moves the force of Gaia (LATOUR, 2020), unleashes irreversible crises on the planet, in addition to epistemological ruptures that cloud his ability to reflect and dialogue with the regimes enunciation (LATOUR, 2012) expressed in science, spirituality and ecology. The disjunction between them and between the dimension of nature and culture – which they can no longer operate – creates multiple tensions that are installed, preventing the subject from a free possibility of existing. The knowledge partnerships (LOPES JÚNIOR, 2019) that guide our path in this research are the notion of a science without dogmas (SHELDRAKE, 2015), which can move through the space of uncertainty and which can express itself in the active voice for being aware that the subjects who practice it are involved with his discoveries, while being more human for allowing himself to feel. Another partnership took place with deep ecology (CAPRA, 1997) because we are involved in the same web, we are linked and we must learn to cultivate self-care (FOUCAULT, 2010), to reflect reflexively on ourselves constantly, and then to act on the world. Therefore, we start from the idea that this subject who acts in harmony with self-care, combined with the notion of spirituality - understood as the subject's awareness of his belonging, constituted as a link, with science, politics, education, ecology - is someone who illustrates the meaning of being ecologically literate.
