The study investigates the current trends that manifest themselves in two areas that have common origins in antiquity, found in the Hellenistic concept of Sophia: present in philosophy, where it expresses the love of wisdom, but also in theology where it represents divine love. Looking at this approach, the Sophia has manifested various orientations, either toward the field of ecology and the environment through the emergence of new concepts, such as ecophilosophy and ecotheology, but also toward the practice applied to the person, through the philosophical counseling or spiritual or pastoral counseling. This paper analyzes the characteristics of the applied trends, ecophilosophy and ecotheology, through their comparative analysis, along with a bibliometric study on papers published on these topics in indexed databases in the last 45 years. The paper presents the openness to innovation, through the emergence of the two concepts analyzed which created methods and tools specific to philosophical or spiritual counseling, and adaptations of these practices to the needs of contemporary society. Therefore, the innovation is sustained by creating a new specialization in community counseling practice, called eco-counseling for community (EC4com), with the new ecological trend, which can be included in the philosophical and spiritual practices applied in communities through individual counseling, for groups or community.
本研究调查了两个领域的当前趋势，这两个领域在古希腊时期的 Sophia 概念中有共同的起源：在哲学中表现为对智慧的热爱，但在神学中表现为神圣的爱。通过这种方法，Sophia 表现出了各种不同的取向，要么通过新概念的出现，如生态哲学和生态神学，指向生态和环境领域，要么通过应用于个人的实践，如哲学咨询或精神或牧灵咨询。本文通过对这两个概念的比较分析，分析了应用趋势——生态哲学和生态神学的特点，同时对过去 45 年来这些主题在索引数据库中发表的论文进行了文献计量学研究。本文通过分析所出现的两种概念展示了创新的开放性，它们创造了特定于哲学或精神咨询的方法和工具，以及对这些实践的调整以适应当代社会的需求。因此，创新是通过创建一个新的社区咨询实践的专业化来维持的，称为社区生态咨询（EC4com），这是一个新的生态趋势，可以通过个体咨询、小组或社区将其应用于社区中的哲学和精神实践中。
