BLAS-LAHITTE, Héctor    SANCHEZ-VAZQUEZ, María José. CONTRIBUTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL BIOETHICS AND HUMAN COHABITATION FROM A RELATIONAL PERSPECTIVE. []. , 15, 1, pp.40-51. ISSN 0123-3122.

This article shows the need to establish a correlation between man and the natural and cultural environment as a unit for survival. Ecoethics main contributions to bioethics are developed from a relational perspective. Taking into account the disastrous repercussions on life stemming from techno-industrial development, two extreme positions in environmental ethics are analyzed: anthropocentrism and physiocentrism. Both these positions preserve the traditional dissociation between nature and culture as a base condition. A necessary epistemic change in ecological attitude is proposed, based on a cognitive reorganization to allow for the creation of quality contexts among men as part of the geoculture in which they live.
