- 2015, Pope Franciscus, “Laudato si’. , Litterae Encyclicae, Vatican:
Anthropocentrismus modernus, praeter opinationem, technicam rationem collocavit denique supra realitatem, quoniam hic homo “naturam iam non percipit tamquam validam normam, nec tamquam vivens refugium. Respicit eam haud hypothesin obiective, veluti spatium et materiam ubi opera perficiatur in quam se immittat, iis neglectis quae sint eventura”.- Modern anthropocentrism has paradoxically ended up prizing technical thought over reality, since “the technological mind sees nature as an insensate order, as a cold body of facts, as a mere ‘given’, as an object of utility, as raw material to be hammered into useful shape; it views the cosmos similarly as a mere ‘space’ into which objects can be thrown with complete indifference”.
