Prolegomena to Agapeology: Reflections on Love as Panexperiential Phenomenon
This paper is an attempt to reflect upon the hidden or mysterious logic of love as an ontological and panexperiential phenomenon. In our attempt, we are crossing the fields of philosophy, spirituality, and contemporary research in psi phenomena (also known as paranormal phenomena) and investigating some historical conditions of margins and disputes between the disciplines based on David Ray Griffin's work, Parapsychology, Philosophy, and Spiritua…
Elemental-Embodied Thinking for a New Era
Animal Pneuma: Reflections on Environmental Respiratory Phenomenology
This essay is an attempt to propose an outline of a new respiratory animal philosophy. Based on an analysis of the forgetting of breath in Western philosophy, it aims to gesture towards a future, breathful and compassionate world of co-sharing and co-breathing. In the first part, the basic features of forgetting of breath are explained based on David Abram’s work in respiratory ecophilosophy. This part also introduces an important contribution to…
God in Post-Christianity: An Elemental Philosophical Theology
Vegetal Pedagogy
This chapter, "Vegetal Pedagogy," explores the potential for plants to serve as educators, challenging anthropocentric views of learning. Marder argues that plants offer a unique model of growth, resilience, and interconnectedness, which can inform human pedagogical practices. He examines how plants embody a form of "vegetal wisdom" that emphasizes slowness, adaptation, and sensitivity to the environment. The chapter encourages a shift away from …
On Dreams, Human Imagination, and Technology
In this paper, I reflect on human imagination, the intention of technology, and the future of humanity in the era of the Anthropocene. I begin by presenting the environmental crisis and declare a need to protect and safeguard nature. In the first part, I offer an explanation of a dream of an airliner and link it to the Bachelardian theory of aerial imagination and oneiric flight. I show how, today, technology has entered our lives profoundly and …
Thinking Politically with Luce Irigaray
Democracy of Breath and Fire: Irigarayan Meditations
In this article, we are arguing for a possibility of a new elemental politics as based on breath and fire and gesturing beyond the modes and principles of ontology of violence, power struggles and war in philosophy and political philosophy. We first discuss the task of today’s political philosophy as a need to enkindle the humanity towards a new alliance in creativity and belonging. We propose a new, elemental approach, based on the revitalizatio…
The Food, Water, Air and Fire Doctrines in Ancient Indian and Greek Philosophies from a Comparative Perspective
The main aim of this article lies in the comparison of ancient cosmico-natural elements from the Vedic period with their counterparts in the Presocratics, with a focus on food, air, water and fire. By way of an introduction to the ancient elemental world, we first present the concept of food (anna) as an idiosyncratic Vedic teaching of the ancient elements. This is followed by our first comparison—of Raikva’s natural philosophy of Vāyu/prāṇa with…
Shame, Gender Violence, and Ethics: Terrors of Injustice
Shame, Gender Violence, and Ethics: Terrors of Injustice draws from contemporary, concrete atrocities against women and marginalized communities to re-conceptualize moral shame and to set moral shame apart from dimensions of subordination, humiliation, and disgrace. The interdisciplinary collection starts with a contribution from a Yazidi-survivor of genocidal and sexual violence, whose case brings together core themes: gender, ethnic and religio…
Shame and Absence: Feminist and Theological Reflections
The Third Age: Reflections on Our Hidden Material Core
This paper deals with the concept of three eras, as brought to us firstly in the Babylonian Talmud , and later reshaped and reformulated by Christian theologians Joachim of Fiore, Amalric of Bène, and finally by Luce Irigaray. In the first part, we start with the idea of the three eras. This is followed by a critical approach to Sloterdijk’s You must change your life in which religion is substituted by the anthropotechnics. We argue that even in …
The Poesis of Peace: Narratives, Cultures, and Philosophies
Ṛgvedske himne Varuṇi in vprašanje moralnosti v stari vedski religioznosti Rigvedic Hymns to Varuṇa and the Question of Morality in Old Vedic Religion
The article discusses Varuṇa hymns of the Rigveda and specifically the presence of moral consciousness within the vedic religion together with its impact on human religious life.
