영문 초록

Inappropriate encounters between capitalism and modern science and technology have brought about the climate crisis. These encounters have helped capitalism to distort, alter, and commercialize science and technology. Capitalism reinforces market-driven growthism through this commercialized science and technology. This series of processes reveals that the climate crisis and human alienation are not separate issues. This paper emphasizes that the problem of climate crisis at stake includes human alienation through the discussion of the rights to life that encompass human rights, and proposes the conceptual transition necessary for ecological theology to be a radical alternative to the climate crisis in response to market-driven growthist capitalism: ecological theology must go the way of de-growthism. This requires a thorough evolutionary reinterpretation of the concept of conservation of the world created by God, and an acceptance of the concept of unsustainability as a methodological alternative for the realization of sustainability.
