From the ancients, to moderns and contemporary: redefining the concept of liberty according to the Ecological State

The paper aims to explain the importance of re-signifying the concept of freedom to guarantee environmental protection in contemporary democracies. To achieve this goal, it analyzes the development of the idea of freedom in ancient and modern societies, outlining a new concept of liberty, more updated and adequate to the contemporary scenario of accelerated environmental crisis and to the development of an Ecological State, ethically based on ecocentrism. The methodological approach is qualitative, pure and the source of research is bibliographical. Research findings show that freedom, in known western societies, changed from an ancient political and public freedom through modern private individual freedom, to later embrace equality in guaranteeing also groups’ freedoms. The study also verified that this current concept of liberty still strengthens the autonomy of human person, emptying the freedom of being and depleting finite natural resources. Hence, the research attests the need to incorporate in the concept of liberty an interspecies solidarity derived from the awareness of man’s biological nature included in the biotic complex as a whole, resulting in Bosselmann’s holistic concept of freedom, foundation stone of the Ecological State.

Para isso, ele analisa o desenvolvimento da ideia de Liberdade nas sociedades antigas e modernas, traçando um novo conceito de Liberdade, mais atual e adaptado ao atual cenário de crise ambiental acelerada e ao Estado Ecológico, eticamente baseado no ecocentrismo. A metodologia utilizada é qualitativa, pura e a fonte de pesquisa, bibliográfica. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que a liberdade, nas sociedades ocidentais conhecidas, passou de uma antiga liberdade política e pública, para uma liberdade moderna privada individual, para então passar a englobar a equidade com a garantia de liberdades de grupos específicos. O estudo também verificou que essa concepção atual de Liberdade ainda fortalece a autonomia da pessoa humana, esvaziando a Liberdade mais ampla do ser e esgotando os recursos naturais finitos. Desta forma, a pesquisa confirma a necessidade da incorporação, no conceito de liberdade, de uma solidariedade entre espécies decorrente da consciência da natureza biológica do homem incluída no complexo biótico como um todo, resultando no conceito holístico de liberdade proposto por Bosselmann, fundamento do Estado Ecológico.  2021text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8639613(Revista) ISSN 2177-7055Seqüência: estudos jurídicos e políticos, ISSN 2177-7055, Vol. 42, Nº. 89, 2021 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Seqüência - Estudos Jurídicos e Políticos)engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
