Resumo:
This thesis has as its central theme the issue of technocracy and its relationship with the socio-environmental crisis. More precisely, its objective is to search for ways to overcome the domain of technical logic, based on the dialogue between the theological proposal of Jacques Ellul (1912- 1994), namely, Éthique de la non-puissance (the Ethics of non-power), and the contributions of Pope Francis in the encyclical letter Laudato Si : on care for our common home (24 May 2015) and in the apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum: on the climate crisis (4 October 2023). The bibliographic review method was adopted. The sociological works of Jacques Ellul made clear the problem of modern technique: a profound and assertive critique of the Technical Society. This criticism corresponded with the observations of Pope Francis, when placed in dialogue with the two works mentioned above. This articulation aimed to prove the topicality and relevance of the topic. After attesting the need and urgency of seeking solutions to the serious problems arising from technocracy, Jacques Ellul s Ethics of Non-Power was presented as a theological response that encourages praxis through the testimony of Jesus Christ. When the Ellulian proposal and the contributions of Pope Francis were put into dialogue, two questions could be answered: is there a proposal of nonpower in Laudato Si and Laudate Deum? Is there a possible dialogue between Ellul s proposal and the proposals contained in Laudato Si and Laudate Deum? Both questions were answered positively. While Jacques Ellul has as his supreme source the testimony of Jesus Christ in his option for non-power, Pope Francis brings sobriety and lucidity from Christian spirituality. Proposals that complement each other and work together to free human beings and Creation.
