Abstract

Although the ecological question has been central to philosophical and scientific debate for over fifty years - as "the study of the interrelationships between organisms and their host environment […] on three levels of biological hierarchy: individuals, populations and communities" (Treccani) - recent years have seen an explosion of the topic, which has forcefully entered the political agendas and above all the collective imagination. In different ways, movements such as FridaysForFuture and Extinction Rebellion have condensed activist energies around the world, and expanded the battle to a higher level of tension and complexity: from environmentalism we have moved on to the ecological question, which currently exceeds all the representations we are able to give it.
