Antropocen, podmiot ludzki i duchowość – eko-filozofia Skolimowskiego wobec Gai 2.0 i nowego antropocentryzmu
The Anthropocene, the Human Subject, and Spirituality – Skolimowski’s Eco-Philosophy in Relation to the Perspectives of Gaia 2.0 and New Anthropocentrism

Summary/Abstract: The article compares three different perspectives on the role of humans in shaping the environment. The first, eco-philosophy of Henryk Skolimowski, is based on the initial belief in the division of the human and natural worlds, which requires reconnection. The second proposal is Bruno Latour’s interpretation of the Gaia hypothesis. His thoughts are part of the posthumanist reflection on mankind’s agency and levelling of its subjectivity with the nature within the distributed system that is Gaia. The third perspective is Clive Hamilton’s defense of anthropocentrism who opposes narratives which, in his opinion, devalue humans. The anchor point is reflection on humanity’s relationship with the environment and determining their mutual subjectivity. Contemporary study on the ecological crisis refers to science and rationalism, and not to spirituality, as in the case of eco-philosophy. Participating in a network of mutual relationships is a constant process of negotiations for the human’s agency.
