Naturphilosophie und Ökologie in der Philosophischen Anthropologie

Description

Contemporary environmental philosopy sometimes suggests that humanism is problematic because it neglects nature, by putting humans first and making nature a distant other. A closer look, however, shows that this impression is misinformed: the philosophical anthropology developed in German phenomenology of the 1920s was based, as my presentation aims to demonstrate, on a receptive philosophy of nature that could show and explain how human beings, themselves a part of nature, are situated in nature and thus could develop deeper bonds. Ecological thinking can still benefit from these insights if it decides not to proceed too ahistorical.
