The Concept of Eco-Justice in the Encyclical Laudato Si'

Ryszard F. Sadowski



Abstract

This article presents the account of justice presented by Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si'. It also shows the continuity of teaching successive popes in the context of linking social issues and environmental issues; extending the scope of the concept of justice for all creation; and presenting intergenerational character of justice. The study also shows Christian inspiration of eco-justice and compliance of justice approach presented in the encyclical to contemporary ecophilosophical works. It seems that the best term for the papal concept of justice is „integral eco-justice”.

Keywords:

ecojustice, environmental justice, encyclical Laudatos Si', intergenerational justice, Christianity, religion and ecology
