“…The Arabism reception of Aristotle had excluded the possibility of discovering in nature a "divine manuscript". Christian scholasticism finds in nature, through Aristotelian ontology, that manuscript (Lutz-Bachmann, Fiora, 2008). Scholastic nominalism will pave the way for an empirical and impartial contemplation of nature that leads Rene Descartes (1596-1650) to separate the "res-cogita" and the "res-extensa": the natural sciences (the experienced) versus cosmology or sacred history (the lived).…”

The Anthropocene has created a new cartography where various discursive levels are intertwined. It unites two fields of knowledge: geology and anthropology. In the 19th century, Romanticism challenged the separation between natural sciences and spirit sciences. With the Anthropocene a geological era is established, but with an epistemological dimension: environmental catastrophes are not a passive "object", they become an agent of social and political change. Images of the world (Weltbild) turn nature into an animated whole that challenges the dual vision: observer and observed. There is no nature without "observer", nor geology without anthropology. The Anthropocene modifies the foundations of our view of the world where we had excluded life. This is how concepts such as symbiogenesis, homeostasis, etc., which make visible and try to explain phenomena that are otherwise inexplicable. The Naturwissenschaft by J.W. Goethe is a point of support, with all these ideas that develop in the 20th century and anticipate the Anthropocene term of the 21th century. While the concepts of "belief" and "science" continue to be sharpened, rehabilitating "old quarrels" around anthropology, cosmology, theology, etc. The dignity of man is at stake.
