The Philosophy of Environmental Emotions

Le résumé fourni par la source

This chapter provides an introduction to the topic of environmental emotions, covering the history of their research, their contested status, the nature of their (again, contested) distinctness and interconnection, and the nature of emotion as such, in view of the diverse philosophical theories of emotion and the historical novelty of environmental emotions specifically. It also briefly introduces the three main sections of the book: (1) The focus on the conceptual dimension of our life with emotions, paired with conceptual analyses of the words we use to make sense of our experience. (2) The discussion of the communal and practical life and repercussions of our emotional experiences, in particular with regard to the role of hope. (3) An enquiry into the phenomenological and affective side of these experiences and their impact on the life of the self.
