Abstract
Resumen: Para algunos teoricos que se ocupan de los asuntos etico-medioambientales, como Singer y Taylor, la propuesta de “reencantamiento de la naturaleza” no parece ser una condicion sine qua non para el desarrollo de un principio etico que sirva de fundamento a una etica del medioambiente. En otras palabras, es posible defender una etica del respeto a la naturaleza sin necesidad de sacralizar el mundo natural. El objetivo del presente articulo es examinar, entonces, la validez de la tesis de la ecologia profunda que sostiene precisamente lo contrario. Segun Capra, uno de sus mas destacados defensores, la nueva ecologia se debe convertir en una forma de religion que siga los pasos de las grandes tradiciones espirituales del mundo. Mostrare que, lejos de resolver la cuestion del respeto a la vida, la propuesta de la ecologia profunda crea mas problemas de los que resuelve, al no permitir una defensa coherente de los valores medioambientales que ella dice defender, pues no es posible afirmar que los ecosistemas tengan derechos sobre la base de que la vida, en general, es un proceso mental o espiritual. Insistir en el caracter sacro de la vida tendria como consecuencia indeseada para la ecologia profunda, una defensa dogmatica de su propuesta etica que impediria la revision historica de ciertos valores medioambientales a la luz del desarrollo tecnico-cientifico, y la recaida en una etica heteronoma, de corte religioso, que defiende ciertos valores de manera absoluta sin tener en cuenta la autonomia y los intereses de las personas.

摘要:对于一些teoricos从事事务etico-medioambientales Singer和泰勒,自然reencantamiento”的建议似乎不像一个条件发展条件从一不道德的,作为一个环境的基础。换句话说,有可能在不将自然世界神圣化的情况下捍卫尊重自然的伦理。在这种情况下,深层生态学的观点是正确的,因为它是一种基于生态系统的方法,而生态系统是一种基于生态系统的方法,而生态系统是一种基于生态系统的方法。根据其最杰出的倡导者之一卡普拉的说法,新生态必须成为一种宗教形式,遵循世界上伟大的精神传统的脚步。带,离解决问题尊重生命、深ecologia提议设立更多的问题解决了,不允许国防部连贯的环境,她说,捍卫价值观,所以无法确认生态系统有生活的权利基础上,总体来说,这是一个心理或精神的过程。坚持我神圣的生活,由于他们的角色为ecologia很深,dogmatica防卫的提案的,impediria historica修订版的某些环境光的tecnico-cientifico发展的价值观,和复发的heteronoma,宗教法院维护特定的价值绝对地不考虑人的范围和利益。关键词:cologia加深,自然、尊重、biotecnologia的大自然环境,reencantamiento Abstract:下列若干authors who study ethical-environmental问题,如第十八Singer and Taylor of the“re-enchantment with nature”并不似乎to be a条件condition for the development of an伦理原则,可作为一项an环境伦理的基础。也就是说,不需要把自然世界当作神圣的,就可以捍卫尊重自然的伦理。= =地理= =根据美国人口普查,这个县的面积为,其中土地面积为,其中土地面积为。根据Capra, one of its most outstanding维护者,new生态必须turn into a kind of that follows the traces of the big gayatri naraine宗教传统。This will show that far from条第十八solving the issue of respect for life of deep生态creates more than这些问题which it solves, as it没有permit coherent defense of environmental价值,which it表示it defends,给予that it is not可能to say that生态have rights,根据心理that life in general, is a or gayatri naraine construct。Insisting on the sacred查阅of life将have an undesirable for deep生态,本dogmatic defense of its伦理提案收集所需要的历史一定环境价值观订正from the perspective of technical-scientific development and the fall into a伦理、宗教heteronymous in its查阅,defends a set of给予价值in an absolute方式没有考虑到人民的利益和自治。关键词:深度生态,尊重,生物技术,环境伦理,对自然的重新着迷
