The Philosophy of Living Nature
Original language description
Book focuses on the Western philosophical approach to physis, or nature. It reveals the roots of today's environmental crisis, presenting an etymological investigation of the concept of "nature" itself and arguing for the necessity of focusing on the world and its plurality as the background for phenomena and the context of things, as a unity of horizons, and as a paradigm for understanding nature. However, questions about the natural world have stakes far beyond the realm of philosophy: chapters in this book deal with the identity of living organisms and the relation of life and being. Together, they provide and analysis of Darwinian and neo-Darwinian evolution and question in what sense we may know living beings.
