Pneumatological Reflection on Trans-Modernism and Ecological Care

In the contemporary era, globalization is a leading force, especially in the economic domain. Its drive toward economic expansion and technological advancement has repeatedly pushed ecological concerns to the margins while amplifying anthropocentric patterns of life. Through a constructive theological method that brings pneumatological analysis into dialogue with Enrique Dussel’s vision of trans-modernity, this research seeks to discern how Christian understandings of humanity and spirituality can be reoriented to embody ecological responsibility. This research highlights how trans-modernity establishes a conceptual framework that acknowledges ecology as a subject worthy of respect. Simultaneously, theological reflection identifies the Holy Spirit as the sustaining presence who renews human consciousness and reshapes ecological ethics toward a non-anthropocentric way of life, enabling humanity to live in solidarity with a groaning world. The research therefore concludes that a trans-modern ecological spirituality, built on interdependence and Spirit-empowered ecological commitment, offers a necessary theological framework for responding to the ecological crisis of the Anthropocene.

Abstract

In the contemporary era, globalization is a leading force, especially in the economic domain. Its drive toward economic expansion and technological advancement has repeatedly pushed ecological concerns to the margins while amplifying anthropocentric patterns of life. Through a constructive theological method that brings pneumatological analysis into dialogue with Enrique Dussel’s vision of trans-modernity, this research seeks to discern how Christian understandings of humanity and spirituality can be reoriented to embody ecological responsibility. This research highlights how trans-modernity establishes a conceptual framework that acknowledges ecology as a subject worthy of respect. Simultaneously, theological reflection identifies the Holy Spirit as the sustaining presence who renews human consciousness and reshapes ecological ethics toward a non-anthropocentric way of life, enabling humanity to live in solidarity with a groaning world. The research therefore concludes that a trans-modern ecological spirituality, built on interdependence and Spirit-empowered ecological commitment, offers a necessary theological framework for responding to the ecological crisis of the Anthropocene.
