This article aims to explore the ecological insights of Indian Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. His philosophical reasoning is invoked here to assess individual sanity and dilemmas concerning ecological well-being. Imbued with the spiritual consciousness of Upanishadic philosophy, Tagore provides a distinctive, holistic approach to the ecological debate that I identify as symbiotic ecologism. He draws extensively from the Tapovan (forest) idea in ancient Indian philosophy, where life was lived holistically amidst the vibrancy of Nature. He believes in a perfect symbiosis of all existence in the universe. His eco-ethical philosophy is not based on antagonistic dualism but on the fundamental principles of love, care, cooperation, kinship, reverence, humility and gratitude. My work is based on the textual analysis of selected pieces from Tagore's work that I found relevant to this eco-ethical study. Notably, his childhood memoir My Reminiscences (1912), selected songs from Geetabitan (1932), letters in Glimpses of Bengal (1895), essays "Shakuntala" (1902), "Palliprakriti" (1928), "Aranyadevata" (1939), and the short stories "Subha" (1893), and "Balai" (1928) are explored in this work. This article aims to review Rabindranath Tagore's ecological vision. My argument is based on current dominant theoretical debates and Tagore's thoughts on the environment; it aims to highlight the points of conjunction and divergence between Tagore's vision and the dominant paradigm in ecological discourse. Tagore's insightful engagement with Nature and its significance for life sustenance on Earth is explored in this paper through an eco-ethical approach to the care paradigm. |

Se trae a colación su razonamiento filosófico para evaluar el bienestar individual y los dilemas relacionados con el medioambiental. Con influencias de la conciencia espiritual de la filosofía Upaniṣad, Tagore aporta un enfoque holístico distintivo al debate ecológico al que identifico como ecologismo simbiótico. Se basa en gran medida en la idea del Tapovan (bosque) de la filosofía ancestral india, por la que se vivía de manera holística imbuido en la vitalidad de la Naturaleza. Él cree en la existencia de una simbiosis perfecta de toda la vida del universo. Su filosofía eco-ética no está basada en un dualismo antagónico, sino en los principios fundamentales del amor, los cuidados, la cooperación, los vínculos, el respeto, la humildad y la gratitud. Mi trabajo se basa en el análisis textual de una selección de escritos de Tagore relevantes para este estudio eco-ético. De manera notable, se exploran en este trabajo sus memorias de la infancia, My Reminiscences (1912), una selección de canciones de Geetabitan (1932), cartas de Glimpses of Bengal (1895), los ensayos "Shakuntala" (1902), "Palliprakriti" (1928) y "Aranyadevata" (1939) y las historias cortas "Subha" (1893) y "Balai" (1928). Este artículo pretende revisar la visión ecológica de Rabindranath Tagore. Mi argumento está basado en los debates teóricos dominantes en la actualidad y los pensamientos de Tagore sobre el medio ambiente. Pretende resaltar los puntos de unión y divergencia entre la visión de Tagore y el paradigma dominante en el discurso ecológico. Se explora en este artículo la reveladora visión de Tagore de la Naturaleza y su importancia en la sostenibilidad de la vida en la Tierra a través de un enfoque eco-ético al paradigma de los cuidados. 22025-01-0120252025-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/320951https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5565/rev/indialogs.314reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
