Abstract

There is increasing support for a proposal to designate our age as the "Anthropocene". It highlights the growing role of Homo sapiens in the transformation of the planet on a global scale, as if human actions were a geological force. There are those who embrace this situation, because they conceive the relationship of our species with nature as a combat, the result of which must be the complete domestication of Gaia (and perhaps our own self-domestication) through technological advances. However, others want to make our surroundings and ourselves more savage through intensive "rewilding" programs. In the background is a growing conflict between humanist and transhumanist visions. My main objective in this work is to suggest a peaceful coexistence of domestication and rewilding in order to face the very serious problems that are coming with the Anthropocene.
