Abstract

The environmental crisis can be interpreted as a degeneration of the modern project. In order to face it, we need to articulate the logos of science and technology with a renewed awareness of limits and to change an economic system based on the unrelenting exploitation of resources. The social acceleration which characterizes contemporary societies prevents us from transforming the dominant social formation. Vulnerability theories, based on a historically contingent ontology, centered on relationality, show us an alternative path to reorient institutional action, contributing to change politics and law.
