La dignidad del hombre “artista”: Una respuesta al antropocentrismo desmesurado de la tecnociencia y la destrucción del planeta

The text addresses the contemporary humanity and ecological crisis, proposing a reflection from the theology of Saint Bonaventure and the Encyclical Laudato Si of Pope Francis. It focuses on the “dignity of the artistic man” as an image of God, and how this dignity can counteract the exacerbated anthropocentrism that has emerged with technoscience. According to Saint Bonaventure, the human being, as a bridge between God and creation, has the ability to contemplate the beauty and harmony of the world and, at the same time, to transform it without destroying it. Francis reinforces this idea by calling for an “ecological conversion” that recognizes the interconnectedness of all creation and the need for responsible and loving stewardship of the planet. The reflection highlights the importance of an adequate Christian anthropology that guides human beings towards the preservation and respect of nature.
