De la sociedad maquinal a la sociedad de la vida y la biósfera

We are situated in an immense social and ecological crisis, of which global warming and the COVID-19 pandemic are examples. Our productive and social systems have been modelled on the basis of mechanics and linear responses that have turned humans into instrumental beings employed in routine tasks. Furthermore, the search for immediate results has generated the ecological crisis. Our future as a species depends on our ability to learn the lessons of life and ecosystems, in order to open new horizons and generate new geometries that allow us to co-evolve with the biosphere. The task is immense because we are confronted with the frontier of the very complex, of the interwoven and interconnected, of the dynamic, and we fail to visualize that the sum of individual gains is not a social gain, and much less for the biosphere. Bioethics is central to linking the human with life and the biosphere.
