Resumen
Einstein dijo una vez: "No se puede resolver un problema desde el mismo estado que lo provocó", Este feliz hallazgo del famoso físico, se aplica con especial pertinencia a los problemas ambientales, incluido, claro está, el problema del calentamiento global. Muchos de los problemas que hoy nos agobian, que nos tienen al borde del colapso como civilización, tienen que ver con el predominio que una visión del mundo y de la vida, fragmentaria y mecanicista, llegó a tener durante el período modern. Una visión, un paradigma, que pese a su agotamiento, a su caducidad, sigue permeando las conciencias actuales.
Einstein once said, "You can't solve a problem from the same state that caused it." This happy discovery by the famous physicist applies with special relevance to environmental problems, including, of course, the problem of global warming. Many of the problems that overwhelm us today, that have us on the verge of collapse as a civilization, have to do with the predominance that a fragmentary and mechanistic vision of the world and of life came to have during the modern period. A vision, a paradigm, that despite its exhaustion, its expiration, continues to permeate today's consciousness.
