Leonardo Coimbra, María Zambrano, and Bruno Latour: dialogue on the concept of Nature between Iberian philosophy and contemporary ecological thought

Abstract

The theme of this paper is the concept of Nature. My objective is to investigate the possibility of bringing together the thoughts of Leonardo Coimbra and María Zambrano, as representatives of an Iberian philosophy, with contemporary ecological thought, in order to take the first step in my doctoral thesis entitled Spiritual Ecology: sacralization of Nature in the work of Leonardo Coimbra and María Zambrano. Methodologically, I develop a comparative and critical analysis between these two authors and the thought of Bruno Latour, a central figure in the philosophical discussion surrounding ecology. In the end, I conclude in favor of the possibility of this dialogue.
