The initial intuition of this work was that certain forms of sociability could be a favorable context for cultivating some ecological dispositions, and this idea has been fed by the reading of authors such as Ostrom, Morandé or Spaemann, and by different empirical literature that challenges the objectivistic and dualistic approaches to the ecological. The first versions of the project aimed to theoretically reconstruct the problem of dualisms in modern political thought (in the face of human relationship to nature) and the persistence of that view in contemporary ecological politics, and then address the role of local communities in the face of environmental challenges, including a final case study that could exemplify how certain forms of sociability could help to reframe the conceptual approaches. It soon became apparent that I needed a bridge to connect the theoretical and empirical dimensions better.
