Abstract

The present environmental crisis is also read as a civilizatory crisis, because it questions deeply the Modernity project, its objectives, means and ethics. While science and technics played a central role in its instrumentalization, it also lead to extremely contradictory results, which makes them object of a deep revision. In this paper, we present some philosophical, ethical and political reflections on the topic, and the main alternatives in place.
