Nature defeated by man gives rise to gods: Eco-spirituality in the Ecological Thought of Luis Oyarzún
Autor
Aceituno, Arnaldo Donoso
Resumen
This paper reflects on the links between ecological thought and spirituality in the writing of the Chilean intellectual Luis Oyarzún (1920-1972). His prose discloses the tensions between spiritual and secular in a context of environmental crisis. I propose the term eco-spirituality to describe the assemblage of the domains of ecological and spiritual. Oyarzún’s persona understands material nature as sacred and the human being as a custodian or a minuscule part that can merge with the whole. I examine two practices thematized in Oyarzún’s writing, pilgrimage and silence, consummations of his eco-spiritual experience. © 2022, Universidad Pedagogica y Tecnologica de Colombia.
