This volume arises as an initial contribution to the development of an academic collection on the Covid-19 Pandemic. The collection recovers the message of hope from Pope Francis who, amidst the suffering and bewilderment, appeals to solidarity as an “antibody” against COVID. It is proposed to address the articulation between the concept of integral ecology and the critical discourses of development. He argues that the integral ecology proposal, by returning human beings to their creatureliness, has the potential to reverse the dynamics of domination and exploitation that govern the links between humans and the non-human. Make a particular reading of the contributions of Pope Francis from the question of development and its criticisms. It does not pretend to present the thought of the pontiff, but rather takes some concepts as triggers, reflecting on the models and speeches that have defined global coexistence. This reflection places the pope’s discursive proposal in dialogue with contemporary authors who, although they go through different speeches and trajectories, share an effort in the search for alternatives of the current model of coexistence.
