Ternura a lo bestia : Por una ética ecofeminista del cuidado, la compasión y la no violencia

We live in a world that celebrates strength, productivity, and competition, but disregards vulnerability and care. In this essay, as lucid as it is visceral, philosopher Angélica Velasco, one of the leading voices in Spanish ecofeminism, proposes rethinking our relationship with people, animals, and the planet through a primal tenderness: a fierce, conscious, and courageous tenderness that refuses to be tamed. Drawing on her personal experience, philosophical training, and activist commitment, Velasco champions care, compassion, and nonviolence as ethical and political principles capable of transforming the world. With a passionate and accessible style, the author reflects on the bonds that sustain us, the pain we deny, and the urgent need to rebuild a shared ethic beyond androcentrism and anthropocentrism.
