DOMINIUM TERRAE — AMOR TERRAE. CONCILIATION BETWEEN A MAN AND NATURE
Valentin Pozaić
; Institute of Philosophy and Theology of the Society of Jesus, Zagreb
Abstract
In the early beginnings of the history of mankind, human holds of environment were in fact of defence character. Fatal holds of environment, of the latest period, have borne the fruit of crushingly conflict of a man and nature, and endangered the ecosystem itself. The way to conciliation, the way out of present state of being endangered is not in an escape from responsibility, nor in making again a taboo of nature, but in prementalization of present man — in accordance with the biblical message. The basic truth of Christian faith is the belief that God is love. Man's mission is, because he is an image of God, to manage the world with love. The authentic dominium terrae has its grounds and justification in amor terrae.
