spelling I28-R145-13652_oai2025-11-17 Prieto, Martín 2024-12-19 This paper presents the first translation into Spanish of one of the founding articles of the field of professional environmental ethics. The article is preceded by a discussion of its intellectual, political and biographical context, which aims to scope and interpret its insertion and functioning in the philosophical discussion 50 years after its original publication. Indeed, this act of foundation is deliberate and the author contributes to it in the form of a global argument, which needs to be understood within its intimate motivations and its public plot, that remain current in many ways. Because the intention behind this act is not the inauguration of a sub-specialty, understood as the opening of new branches of specialized treatment within a conceptually structured field, but the global reformulation of the field itself, based on a perceived inability to give adequate treatment to the environmental transformations and challenges of the 20th and 21st centuries. The article contains an influential critical analysis of the edifice of anthropocentric ethics, and by extension of one of the matrices of Western thought in which it has developed, and offers path-breaking support for the development of bio- or eco-centric ethics. As a hinge between the two, there is a famous element of argument, the mental experiment of the "last person". En este trabajo se presenta la primera traducción al castellano de uno de los artículos fundadores del campo de la ética ambiental profesional. El artículo es precedido por un estudio sobre su contexto intelectual, político y biográfico, que apunta a dimensionar e interpretar su inserción y funcionamiento en la discusión filosófica a 50 años de su publicación original. En efecto, este acto de fundación es deliberado y el autor contribuye a ella en la forma de un argumento global, que es necesario comprender dentro de sus motivaciones íntimas y su trama pública, que hoy continúan vigentes en muchos aspectos. Porque la pretensión que toma dicho acto no es la inauguración de una subespecialidad, entendida como la apertura de nueva ramas de tratamiento especializado dentro de un campo conceptualmente estructurado, sino la reformulación global del campo mismo, a partir de una percibida incapacidad de dar tratamiento adecuado a las transformaciones y desafíos ambientales del siglo XX y XXI. El artículo contiene un influyente análisis crítico del bloque de la ética antropocéntrica, y por extensión a una de las matrices del pensamiento occidental en el que esta se ha desarrollado, y ofrece un soporte pionero para el desarrollo de las éticas bio- o eco-céntricas. A modo de bisagra entre las dos cosas aparece un elemento argumental célebre, el experimento mental de la “última persona”. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13652 10.34096/cf.n82.13652 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13652/14306 Derechos de autor 2024 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 82 (2024) 2362-485X 0590-1901 Environmental ethics - Anthropocentrism - Speciesism Environmental ethics Anthropocentrism Speciesism Ética ambiental Antropocentrismo Especismo Is There a Need for a New, an Environmental Ethic?
