Abstract

Disciplinary inertia is so powerful that the advantages of adopting ecological thinking in the field of the Humanities have not always been recognized, nor have they always been welcomed. This is although, more than ever before, the collective consciousness has embraced the idea that planet Earth is an ecosystem of which humanity is a part, and in which humanity is the principal cause of the adverse conditions for life that have been increasingly intensifying since the Industrial Revolution and the establishment of capitalism as a globalized economic system.
