Wolterstorff, Rights, Ecology, Justice, ScripturesAbstract
In this article, I present the concept of rights of the plants found in Nicholas Wolterstorff's theory of justice. In addition, I make an analysis from a theological perspective, regarding its possible contribution to the understanding on ecology, taking the same framework used by the author: the biblical scriptures of the Old and New Testament. Finally, I outline some reflections of my own following the same line of thinking as that found in the above theory, both in a proposal of quasi-rights and as a solution to the incapacity of moral agency.
