This groundbreaking collection explores the intersection of
phenomenology with environmental philosophy. It examines the
relevance of Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas for
thinking through the philosophical dilemmas raised by environmental
issues, and then proposes new phenomenological approaches to the
natural world. The contributors demonstrate phenomenology's need to
engage in an ecological self-evaluation and to root out
anthropomorphic assumptions embedded in its own methodology.
Calling for a reexamination of beliefs central to the Western
philosophical tradition, this book shifts previously marginalized
environmental concerns to the forefront and blazes a trail for a
new collaboration between phenomenologists and ecologically-minded
theorists.
