This chapter analyzes the various fields of application of philosophical ecology and the shifts in approach that this philosophy necessitates in areas such as anthropology and pedagogy, as well as in more theoretical ontological and epistemological aspects. Philosophical ecology positions itself as a lens capable of bringing into focus aspects that are often ignored or even misunderstood by the humanist approach. In particular, it highlights how anthropocentrism constitutes primarily an epistemological obstacle that not only prevents us from fully comprehending the characteristics of the ecological crisis but also hinders a deep understanding of the inherently relational nature of the human being and its ontopoietic vocation.
