Abstract
Description
The essay proposes a concept of longevity that is conceivable not only at the level of the individual human being, but also of the human collectivity, notably in view of the critical situation in which our planet finds itself today. This is consistent with the principle of universality, which governs both the realisation of biblical zôé and of the bios as an object of scientific research. With an interdisciplinary approach, it is possible to work simultaneously on the longevity of a person and that of a habitable planet. Furthermore, eternal life, promised to all, is thus linked with conversion to the common good of the planete, aimed at the survival of the population of the world on a planet that will be habitable again in the future. This perspective matches the integral ecology advocated by Pope Francis in the encyclical Laudato Si’.
