This article intends to examine the text of Pope Francis 'encyclical Laudato Si' from the perspective of the logic of gift, ultimately the logic of gratuity, that is, in terms of Christian theology, the logic of grace. This perspective will be explained at the end of the article, after analyzing the ethical, practical, and even political and technological implications that are called into question in the text of the encyclical. It is concluded that the future of life on earth, ecologically harmonized, will only be possible with the ethical generosity of the human. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
