L’évolutionnisme est-il compatible avec l’éthique écologique ?

Abstract

One might think that mankind as the most evolved being in Nature is entitled to use his status to look down on other living beings. Such an opinion is wrong: although the physical body of the human phenomenon is the most evolved from the universal matter, the evolutionary theory claims that he has in no wise stopped to structurally share the same materiality with other living beings of the universe. On the contrary, the more he evolves the more he becomes intelligent enough to understand his deep structural linkage to Nature, and then he is ecologically sensitive towards the whole biological and botanical community.
