Summary: | The aim of this essay is to show the contribution of hermeneutic philosophy to environmental bioethics faced with the biocentric versus anthropocentric dilemma. Biocentric means the radical unchanging conservation of nature, while anthropocentric means the exploitation and commercialization of earth with profit as the only limit. The hermeneutic philosophy is a method to unite and self-limiting these different horizons of value and meaning. Such method gathers through historic and conceptual location, the origin of each one of these conceptions and their respective thesis. Thanks to this, it applies the inclusion of key meanings, such as "earth", "soil", "ecosystem", "environment" within a holistic notion of "biosphere". With this it pretends to solve the problem and, moreover, to open the way to future research which could tackle the environmental bioethical dilemmas with the hermeneutic change of meanings with different values. Key words: biocentric, anthropocentric, union of horizons, habits, inhabitants El objetivo de este ensayo es mostrar el aporte de la hermeneutica filosofica a la bioetica ambiental ante el dilema biocentrismo versus antropocentrismo. Por el primero se entiende la conservacion radical e inalterable de la naturaleza, mientras para el segundo se concibe la explotacion y comercializacion de la tierra sin mas limite que la ganancia. La hermeneutica filosofica es un metodo para fusionar y autolimitar estos dispares horizontes de valoracion y significatividad. Dicho metodo recoge, a traves de la ubicacion historica y conceptual, el origen de cada una de estas concepciones y sus respectivas tesis. Gracias a ello, postula la traslacion de significados clave, como "tierra", "suelo", "ecosistema", "medio ambiente", hacia una nocion holistica de "biosfera". Con ello pretende la disolucion del dilema y, a su vez, abrir la via a investigaciones futuras que puedan abordar los dilemas de la bioetica ambiental con la traslacion hermeneutica de significados con distinto valor.
