The Call of the Wild
Abstract
Prima facie, the idea of sustainable development seems to bring in a limitation to the absolute power of modern subjectivity. On closer examination, however, it reveals itself to be the necessary detour for the reign of this subjectivity, following the principle of the economic rationality of the Moderns. The author discusses the limits of the anthropocentrism inherent in such a perspective, and opens up another, metaphysical, meaning of sustainability, which inscribes in the subject the awareness of belonging to a reality which, in some of its aspects, may surpass him, and with which he is not always in solidarity. In so doing, he moves away from a «New Realism» that can be characterized as neo-humanism, which, under the guise of overcoming subject/object dualism, maintains the essential presuppositions of the modern metaphysics of subjectivity –and thus a conceptual framework beyond which the ecological question today invites us to think–.
