While our world is characterized by mobility, global interactions,
and increasing knowledge, we are facing serious challenges
regarding the knowledge of the places around us. We understand and
navigate our surroundings by relying on advanced technologies. Yet,
a truly knowledgeable relationship to the places where we live and
visit is lacking. This book proposes that we are utterly lost and
that the loss of a sense of place has contributed to different
crises, such as the environmental crisis, the immigration crisis,
and poverty. With a rising number of environmental, political, and
economic displacements the topic of place becomes more and more
relevant and philosophy has to take up this topic in more serious
ways than it has done so far. To counteract this problem, the book
provides suggestions for how to think differently, both about
ourselves, our relationship to other people, and to the places
around us. It ends with a suggestion of how to understand ourselves
in an eco-political community, one of humans and other living
beings as well as inanimate objects. This book will be of great
interest to researchers and students of environmental ethics and
philosophy as well as those interested in the environmental
humanities more generally.
