Ecoética y crisis ecológica. La perspectiva de Aldo Leopold

Abstract

The ecological crisis is imposed on us day by day. The most obvious manifestation of it is climate change; therefore, it is urgent to have an ecological ethic, with a radical assessment of all living beings such as the one that was present throughout
the Neolithic and that has endured in traditional wisdom. Based on this holistic idea of life and relativistic about the human being, Leopold formulates a very concise eco-ethical proposal that today, more than ever, is worthy of consideration, not only because of the ecological crisis that we face, but also because it is a «moderate eco- ethics» that transcends the problems of radical eco-ethics, so that it opens a theoretical path for thinking about our environmental problems.
