Nine years after the Encyclical Laudato si'. The worsening of socio-environmental problems and the urgency of caring for Mother Earth

Abstract

The essential purpose of this article is to understand the primary meanings of the encyclical of Pope Francis, Laudato si’. From and to Starting from this ethical, political and evangelical horizon, we try to interpret and represent it in the light of the serious socio-environmental problems, which today are occurring and aggravating throughout the planet and, consequently, propose emerging alternatives from the Encyclical itself and also from contemporary sciences, philosophies or ontologies and cosmologies focused on the defense of water, territory and biodiversity of Mother Earth. We are therefore interested in guessing the very possibilities of restoration and regeneration of life in the context of a pressing and inexcusable climate crisis.
