Ecospiritualità contemporanea. Una mappa di opzioni e rischi

This paper offers a philosophical and critical cartography of today’s green sacrality: the widespread tendency to perceive nature as a living sanctuary in response to the moral and symbolic void left by modernity. After tracing the dismantling of anthropocentrism, it examines the rise of ecospiritual currents such as Deep Ecology, panentheistic theologies, new Gaia cosmologies and everyday practices of “darkgreen religion”. Drawing on authors from Malthus to Næss, from Thomas Berry to Bruno Latour, the study argues that sacralizing the biosphere promises a renewed horizon of meaning but simultaneously risks misanthropic antihumanism and antiscientific millenarianism.
