La prospettiva dell'ecumene di Berque nell'antropocene-urbanocene. Il richiamo all'etica in risposta al superamento dell'antropocentrismo = Berque's ecumene perspective in the anthropocene-urbanocene. The call for ethics in response to overcoming anthropocentrism

Abstract

In Être humains sur la terre, Augustin Berque proposes a relational concept of ecumene, criticizing Serres's holistic attribution of moral and legal personality to the Earth. Berque also implicitly critiques Posthumanist approaches, which risk dissolving the human/non-human distinction-especially in smart city models. His project highlights the need for a geography informed by ontology, and vice versa. Berque warns against an ontological flattening that erases the ethical specificity of the human being-uniquely capable of moral and legal responsibility. This perspective reframes the human-non-human relationship without denying differences. The essay proposes using Berque's thought to rethink the smart city's limits and develop a more balanced urban framework.
