In particular, there is a call to be free from the conditionings of a
Malthusian environmentalist culture:
"According to the president of Sorella Natura, Roberto Leoni, only with
a new culture founded on Christian virtues "will the initiatives of
legislators develop, free from the conditionings of a fatalist and
Malthusian environmentalist culture." "
I believe Darwin was strongly influenced by Malthus. Does Leoni imply
that Malthus's observations have moved from descriptive to prescriptive
in our culture and that we need to reverse this based on Christian
virtures?
