Abstract
What is agroecology’s moral vision, and what are the larger metaphysical, even theological, implications of it? Even though agroecology as a field now gathers collaborators from across the natural and social sciences, as well as members of farming communities and international movements, there remains relatively little explicit and sustained reflection upon this question. My main contention is that expanding agroecology’s dialogue of wisdoms (diálogo de saberes) to include theological traditions can address this lacuna. To show how, I explore the contribution of one particular theological tradition—Catholic social teaching—and how its account of integral ecology enables agroecologists to deepen their engagement with fundamental questions raised by their own normative commitments.
生态农业的道德观是什么，它在形而上学甚至神学方面有什么更大的影响？尽管生态农业作为一个领域现在聚集了来自自然科学和社会科学领域的合作者，以及农业社区和国际运动的成员，但对这一问题的明确而持续的思考仍然相对较少。我的主要论点是，将生态农业的智慧对话（diálogo de saberes）扩展到神学传统，可以弥补这一空白。为了说明如何做到这一点，我探讨了一个特定神学传统--天主教社会教义--的贡献，以及它对整体生态学的阐述如何使生态农业学家加深对其自身规范性承诺所提出的基本问题的参与。
期刊介绍：
Agriculture and Human Values is the journal of the Agriculture, Food, and Human Values Society. The Journal, like the Society, is dedicated to an open and free discussion of the values that shape and the structures that underlie current and alternative visions of food and agricultural systems.
To this end the Journal publishes interdisciplinary research that critically examines the values, relationships, conflicts and contradictions within contemporary agricultural and food systems and that addresses the impact of agricultural and food related institutions, policies, and practices on human populations, the environment, democratic governance, and social equity.
