Abstract

The Anthropocene is the contemporary version of Utopianism, of which it shares the illusions, albeit noble, and deceptions. In other words, it is what took the place of revolutionary hope in the last century, and it is with this eye that, in my opinion, we must look at it. Abandoning the workers, it became the defence of animals, then of plants, and now of the planet. In all this, we do not consider the robust anthropocentrism that pushes us to the fatal confusion between the salvation of the planet (indifferent to humanity and its manners) and the salvation of humanity, which is instead strictly dependent not on saving the planet, but on maintaining an environment where humanity can survive.
