Challenges of justice and proposals from ecotheology. European feminist perspectives.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract: Theology aims to serve humanity and its political bias is undeniable, as Catherine Keller states in her book: “Political Theology of the Earth” (2018). Feminist theological reflection, in turn, seeks humanitarian alliances beyond the religious sphere to fulfil its intersectional and interdisciplinary remit and aims - for some time now - at gyn/ecology (Mary Daly, 1978) and at being “Green Theology” as proposed by Trees van Montfoort (2019) or ecofeminist, according to the insistence of Alicia Puleo (2011). Current challenges include: extremist nationalisms that blur the feminist political image; the dispersion of the feminist movement; rethinking models of care; glocal (global/local) social gyn/ecological practices.
The main results obtained from the analysis of the reflections point to the need to (1) recover the mystical origins of ecological inspiration in the theological tradition, (2) rethink the category of care and biophilia, (3) search for means of sustainable democracy, find languages capable of transmitting theological reflection, and offer the praxis of a socially relevant eco-theological model in alliance with other related platforms and movements.
Keywords: justice, ecology, biophilia.
