Eco-Imagination as the New Phenomenological Frontier

This collection of research contributes to the common goal of looking at the imagination from the novel perspective of its ecological potential. The phenomenological imagination, thus, appears no longer confined in the mere relationship with perception but emerges as the source of the experience of the possible, through which the latent virtualities in the processes of self-individualization that constitute evolving life become visible. According to Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, we must turn to this ecological potential of our creative imagination if we want to overcome the current and unsustainable order of the world and life; also avoiding the temptation of dominance and exploitation that constantly emanates from the rationalistic-technological logos inherited from Modernity. Eco-phenomenology built through eco-imagination is the new frontier to be explored and founded to achieve a sustainable future. This volume appeals to students and researchers in phenomenology and related fields.
