Komunikacyjny wymiar ekologii integralnej w encyklice Laudato si'
The communicative dimension of integral ecology in laudato si'

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The article aims to present integral ecology, as developed in Laudato si', as an ethical, social, and communicative category and to examine its usefulness for the analysis of media discourse. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The argument starts from the assumption that the ecological crisis should be understood not only as an environmental issue, but also as a crisis of language, social imagination, and ways of describing the relations between human beings, nature, economy, and community. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The article first reconstructs the key categories of Laudato si', then discusses the semantic and ethical function of the language of integral ecology, and finally analyses selected media texts from 2021-2025. RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis demonstrates that media may either strengthen a language of solidarity, the common good, and long-term responsibility, or reduce the ecological issue to an incident, a cost, or a political conflict. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Integral ecology proves to be a useful interpretive category for media discourse.
