Materia viviente, vida pensante Evolución y prospectiva de la consciencia humana

Este libro plantea cómo nuestro interés por el ser humano nos ha llevado a desarrollar una serie de trabajos y planteamientos que nos permiten delimitar qué es la humanidad y cómo esta evoluciona en el marco de la ecología planetaria. Sobre todo, nos interesa conocer cómo la hominización y la humanización se complementan en este proceso evolutivo para generar la conciencia en nuestro género. Una conciencia de especie que, una vez emergida, se ha de consolidar para que dé los frutos que necesitamos como humanidad.

This book discusses how our interest in human beings has led us to develop a series of works and approaches that allow us to define what humanity is and how it evolves within the framework of planetary ecology. Above all, we are interested in knowing how hominization and humanization complement each other in this evolutionary process to generate consciousness in our gender. A species consciousness that, once emerged, must be consolidated in order to bear the fruits we need as humanity.
