Homo Climaticus vs. Homo Religiosus: arhetipu savstarpējā mijiedarbība

In the modern era, we increasingly encounter threats and
challenges caused by climate change; as a result, “green” thinking has become a necessity in every person’s life. It is believed that environmentally
focused thinking can be invigorated by Homo Climaticus, who is defined as
a rational person in a climate crisis. However, it must be recognised that to
understand the essence of Homo Climaticus, it must be compared with other
archetypes. Within the framework of this article, the authors have evaluated
the interaction between Homo Climaticus and Homo Religiosus in the context
of environmental management. The analysis of these archetypes outlines
the synergies and conflicts that arise from their fundamental differences in
worldview, even though both are committed to preserving the environment.
Homo Climaticus is fundamentally grounded in science and data related
to environmental management, whereas Homo Religiosus is motivated by
faith-based ethics and the moral necessity to protect the world created by God.
Recognising and utilising the strengths of both these archetypes can make
environmental management more effective. Such an interdisciplinary approach
indicates that collaboration between scientific and religious communities can
provide a comprehensive strategy for addressing global environmental issues.
