Resumen

Este ensayo analiza la relación entre el vegetarianismo y las virtudes ecológicas en medio de la crisis socioambiental global. Después de revisar la literatura sobre ética alimentaria vegetariana, y basándose en referencias de la Bioética Crítica, argumenta que el vegetarianismo puede considerarse una manifestación concreta de virtudes ecológicas. Destaca la necesidad de evitar visiones individualistas e idealistas de este enfoque, enfatizando la importancia de integrarlas en perspectivas críticas y transformadoras. Destaca la relevancia de abordar cuestiones como la instrumentalización de los discursos éticos y la persistencia de formas de colonialidad en el debate sobre el vegetarianismo. Concluye que el cultivo de virtudes ecológicas mediante la promoción de dietas vegetarianas puede desempeñar un papel significativo en la lucha contra la crisis socioambiental, siempre y cuando estas virtudes se incorporen en perspectivas críticas y politizadas que desafíen las dinámicas capitalistas y coloniales que operan en el régimen alimentario global.
