La Construcción del Relatoun estudio teórico sobre el cambio climatico y la crisis de biodiversidad

Abstract

The narrative construction focuses on mediation among diverse disciplines that gather around the issues of climate change and the biodiversity crisis. This dissertation is not confined to natural sciences; on the contrary, following the epistemological Dadaism of Feyerabend and assuming part, if not all, of the critique that Latour makes of modernity, the dissertation incorporates theories and discussions from both natural and social sciences. In the main body of the text, the works of Vernadsky, Lovelock, and Margulis serve as the basis for a paradigm capable of addressing climate and biodiversity issues, assuming that both aspects are components of the biosphere, which is the term that encompasses everything. To substantiate this idea, the dissertation turns to the integration of soil into the biosphere, particularly focusing on the history of Edaphology and the relationship between its founder, Dokutchaev, and Vernadsky, who defined the biosphere. Vernadsky was already known to Lovelock and Margulis, but perhaps the incorporation of Dokutchaev into the common paradigm is one of the most interesting aspects of this dissertation. In various chapters, and once epistemologically justified and the methodology exposed, an exhaustive bibliographic review of the biosphere, Edaphology, and Margulis's symbiogenetic theory is undertaken. This latter theory is the evolutionary theory defended in this dissertation against the synthetic theory of evolution. On the other hand, currently, the concept of the Anthropocene and the human factor in climate change are topics of discussion, warranting a dedicated chapter in this dissertation. However, rather than being a flagellation or an exaltation of human 'power' or emancipation, it focuses on the concept of the noosphere developed by Vernadsky in his later years. This sphere comprises us and includes our tangible interaction with the environment as well as our perception of it, including scientific activity. In conclusion, this dissertation serves as a compelling narrative that challenges conventional wisdom and calls for an interdisciplinary, integrative approach to the existential threats of climate change and biodiversity loss. It invites us to reimagine our place in the biosphere, urging a harmonious coexistence with the planet. The work serves as a clarion call for thoughtful action and collaborative endeavour in these trying times.
