Care for ourselves, care for the Earth: widening the circles of concern in the Anthropocene era
Résumé
When we take care of ourselves, we take care of others and the planet, because we take care of our inner life, our body and mind, our thoughts, our emotions; in this way, we can offer our peace to our colleagues, our friends, and loved ones. We can offer our stability and care to the entire ecosystem we are living in. Philosophy and daily practices of full awareness can help expand the circles of care; in this way we can move the boundaries of concern in order to realise the ethical dimension of caring.
