The article delves into the crisis of modernity and the breakdown of moral consensus, proposing a return to Aristotelian virtue ethics. It contrasts ecological modernism with communitarian localism based on Livelihood, advocating for a distributist political economy rooted in Catholic social teaching. The text emphasizes the importance of a local economy incorporating virtue ethics and religious faith to guide individuals towards ecological conscience formation and sustainability. It suggests that a communitarian network grounded in Judeo-Christian values and natural law is crucial for societal orientation towards a sacred order and ecological restraint.
