se relaciona no solo con un biocentrismo, sino que también a
un paganismo surge la sospecha de encubrir una tendencia pro

el significado, los límites y la ganancia del pensar de Klages para

Abstract
An analysis of Ludwig Klages’ Man and Earth (Mensch und Erde)
of 1913 readily explains why this thinker has been deemed a
visionary of the ecological problem. Through his critique of
technique, progress, capitalism, and monotheism as the basis
of all of them, Klages radically rejects anthropocentric domination
of nature while arguing for biocentrism. In light of current
climate change, his critique of the exploitation of nature in pursuit
of economic interests comes through with great currency.
However, inasmuch Klages’ understanding of nature is not only
associated with biocentrism, but also with paganism, the suspicion
arises of his thinking hiding a tendency towards nationalism.
This article shall expound the relevance, the limits, and
the benefits of Klages’ thinking for the current environmental
debate.
Key words: Klages, nature, ecological problem, paganism, biocentrism.
