Écologie intégrale, écologie politique, christianisme. Remarques historiennes

The article explores the short history of the concept of ‘integral ecology’ in the French context, a concept popularized by the encyclical Laudato si’ (2015). It begins by examining the contributions of Falk van Gaver, since 2007, some of the intellectual debates that arose in the years following the publication of the journal, highlighting the contributions of Delphine Batho, Dominique Bourg and Desclée de Brouwer, among others . Looking for antecedents, he finds them in the responses to the criticisms that Lynn T. White (1967) had received and highlights, in particular, Hélène and Jean Bastaire and the testimony of Lanza del Vasto.
