Key words: Marguerite Yourcenar, engagement écologique littéraire, Agrippa d'Aubigné, sensibilité vis-à-vis de la nature, dissolution dans la nature, fragilité des forêts, éthique se l'environnement non anthropocentrée  The Belgian-French novelist Marguerite Yourcenar is a rare example of an established literary figure whose writing in French cries out for ecocritical attention. Discovering environmental pollution and destruction as an issue in the late 1950s, when she went to live in the USA, Yourcenar became an active supporter of conservationist and animal rights initiatives, and began to express her commitment to reconciliation between humans, non-human life and the inanimate environment in her fiction and critical essays on French literature. A fascination with pristine wilderness speaks from her last novel, published in 1982, whose protagonist relinquishes human individuality to become one with sublime nature.   Palabras clave: Marguerite Yourcenar, compromiso ecológico literario, Agrippa d'Aubigné, sensibilidad con la naturaleza, disolución en la naturaleza, fragilidad de los bosques, ética del medioambiente no antropocéntrico.  La novelista franco belga Marguerite Yourcenar es un raro ejemplo de figura literaria de reconocido prestigio cuyos escritos en francés claman atención ecocrítica. Cuando emigró a Estados Unidos a finales de los años 1950 descubrió el problema de la contaminación y destrucción medioambiental y se convirtió en colaboradora activa en iniciativas conservacionistas y pro derechos de los animales. Comenzó a expresar su compromiso con la reconciliación entre los seres humanos, los seres vivos no humanos y el medioambiente inanimado en su literatura y en ensayos críticos sobre literatura francesa. De su última novela, publicada en 1982, en la que la protagonista abandona la individualidad humana para fundirse con la naturaleza sublime emana una fascinación con la prístina naturaleza salvaje.

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised complex moral dilemmas that have been the subject of extensive public debate. Here, we study how people judge a set of controversial actions related to the crisis: relaxing data privacy standards to allow public control of the pandemic, forbidding public gatherings, denouncing a friend who violated COVID-19 protocols, prioritizing younger over older patients when medical resources are scarce, and reducing animal rights to accelerate vaccine development. We collected acceptability judgements in an initial large-scale study with participants from 10 Latin American countries ( N = 15 420). A formal analysis of the intrinsic correlations between responses to different dilemmas revealed that judgements were organized in two dimensions: one that reflects a focus on human life expectancy and one that cares about the health of all sentient lives in an equitable manner. These stereotyped patterns of responses were stronger in people who endorsed utilitarian decisions in a standardized scale. A second pre-registered study performed in the USA ( N = 1300) confirmed the replicability of these findings. Finally, we show how the prioritization of public health correlated with several contextual, personality and demographic factors. Overall, this research sheds light on the relationship between utilitarian decision-making and moral responses to the COVID-19 crisis.
