Abstract

The sense of hopelessness vis-à-vis the anthropocentric paradigm makes it difficult today to think about the future of the planet and reinforces pessimism and resignation. This is also true of the eco-critically inflected humanities; they highlight the need for an awareness-raising transformation that could limit the extent of the expected climate catastrophe. At this point, they must be supported by tools capable of changing reality. Such tools must meet the social needs of wholeness, meaning, and spirituality and remain open to non-Western models of religiosity. It is especially worth looking for them in post-secular thinking, which combines a reasoned and an intuitive way of understanding reality.
