Abstract

Within the present article, the author aims to outline two different conceptions of the social organisation based on the interpretation of nature. Concretely, the first analysed approach is the “Deep ecology” theory, represented by the Finnish eco-philosopher Pentti Linkola. Likewise, the second outlined theory is the “Ethnogenesis”, a biological approach of the civilisation proposed by the Russian Ethnograph Lev Gumilev. By exploring them, the author seeks to contrast their validity in order to resolve the “Ecological Paradox” proposed by Slavoj Žižek . In any case, the article doesn’t offer any geopolitical synthesis or method to face the ecological crisis , but it examines the meaning and representation of nature and remarks the importance of a new articulation of the political discourse
