Un astrof sico realiza un llamamiento fascinante -y urgente- a una nueva «Ilustraci n para socorrer a la humanidad mientras nos enfrentamos a la crisis existencial del cambio clim tico. Gleiser argumenta que estamos utilizando el paradigma equivocado para relacionarnos con el universo y entender nuestro lugar en l. En El universo consciente nos invita a que adoptemos una nueva perspectiva centrada en la vida, que reconozca lo rara y valiosa que es, y por qu deber a ser nuestra misi n preservarla y cuidarla. El paradigma de Gleiser replantea los ideales de la Ilustraci n y propone una nueva direcci n para la humanidad, impulsada por la raz n y la curiosidad (precisamente, motores de la ciencia), y cuyo prop sito ser a reubicarnos como el lugar donde la vida se hace consciente. De esta forma, recuperar amos una br jula moral que podr a utilizarse tanto para guiar la ciencia como la pol tica que orbita en torno a ella. An astrophysicist makes a fascinating - and urgent - call for a new "Enlightenment" to help humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change. Gleiser argues that we are using the wrong paradigm to relate to the universe and understand our place in it. In The Conscious Universe he invites us to adopt a new perspective focused on life, one that recognizes how rare and valuable it is, and why it should be our mission to preserve and care for it. Gleiser's paradigm rethinks the ideals of the Enlightenment and proposes a new direction for humanity, driven by reason and curiosity (precisely, engines of science), and whose purpose would be to reposition us as the place where life becomes conscious. In this way, we would recover a moral compass that could be used both to guide science and the politics that orbit around it.
