About article:
The interaction between migration and the environment is essential, but it is not usually the focus of philosophical reflection. In this article, the author explores the nexus of migration and environmental protection, based on a new and expanded conception of the subject. The subject, according to this view, emerges from a new synthetic blend of a Buddhist-Shinto-Confucian-European model. This approach should allow for a deeper and more differentiated understanding of the relationship between human beings, human beings and nature, and lead to new perspectives in understanding humans as climatic beings. This broader approach is necessary for a better understanding of migrants, but also to win them over as new allies for environmental protection. At the end of the article, a practical example is presented to illustrate the theoretical explanation.
