Abstract

We seek to investigate whether the contemporary environmental crisis and some ecological reactions to it do not come from a same dominant model of reality perception, in which Nature and Earth appear as an object, to explore or defend, before the human subject. For this, a rethinking of Nature and Earth is made from the first three instances of the theocosmogony of Hesiod - Chaos, Gaia and Eros - and we propose that only a contemplative and non-dualistic opening of awareness can lead to a real civilizational shift.
