Current Challenges of Environmental Philosophy
Series:
It is extremely difficult to seek new paths in the twilight of our former idols, ideals and visions of a happy and successful life. The authors of the book invite the reader to embark on this journey in a free-spirited manner and to look at the challenges posed by the new climate regime from different perspectives. Whether one accepts the concept of the Anthropocene as a starting point, or rather as an opportunity for constructive criticism, readers will be fully engaged by thinking through historical-philosophical, scientific, political, social, as well as educational problems.
Richard Sťahel is a senior researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, where he holds the positions of director of the Institute and head of the Department of Environmental Philosophy. Among his recent publications is the article 'Environmentalism as a Political Philosophy for the Anthropocene' (2020), in Anthropocenica : revista de estudos do antropoceno e ecocritical.
Eva Dědečková is a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. She focuses mainly on the cosmological philosophy of E. Fink and F. Nietzsche. In 2019, she received her PhD from Charles University in Prague. She recently published the article 'Eugen Fink: Ethics is Rooted in Physics' (2022) in the Australian journal Cosmos and History.
