Abstract

This paper has the intention and objective of exploring the tensions created by the Illustration´s concept of Progress versus the contemporary concept of a Sustainable Heritage which incorporates the survival of future generations. Parting from a historical perspective the development and consequences of said concepts are seen through the optics of various thinkers who have investigated these themes. The argument hinges particularly upon the concept of ecocide this being understood as how humanity has impacted in a negative and destructive manner upon the natural environment.
