Summary/Abstract: One of the underlying thesis of Laudato si’ is the close link between anthropology and ecology. Pope Francis calls for an ecological conversion, which involves an adequate anthropology based on an authentic interpretation of man’s creation in God’s likeness. Only the man who sees himself and acts as guardian, and not as a tyrant, can take care of our common home.
