Happily and consciously settled in one’s failure
Recognition of one’s error, flaw, or failure represents both a spontaneous stimulus to improve one’s understanding and/or action and a reason for improvement. Self-reflection of one’s errors is thus naturally embedded in perfectionist projects of a moral or epistemic kind. In comparison, for Adornoian dialectics, the point is less of making a substantial change through self-reflection, and more of identifying clearly the preconditions of one’s pr…
Unhappy Lovers'? Difficulties of Spiritual Transition and the Case of Environmentalist 'New Animism
In this paper, we reflect on difficulties connected with transitioning from one spiritual tradition to another. We consider Western New Animism, sometimes proposed as a remedy to the exploitative and anthropocentric values typical of Western Modernity. New Animism hopes to provide a framework for resilient, pro-environmental attitudes and practices. Referring to Wittgenstein's reflections on religion, magic and culture, as well as the work of Pet…
Ecological Grief Observed from a Distance
The paper discusses ecological grief as a particular affective phenomenon. First, it offers an overview of several philosophical accounts of grief, acknowledging the heterogeneity and complexity of the experience that responds to particular personal points of importance, concern and one’s identity; the loss triggering grief represents a blow to these. I then argue that ecological grief is equally varied and personal: responding to what the grievi…
Ailments of the Soul
The paper aims to trace the distinctive character of the talk of the soul and to disentangle it from the talk of the mind. The key context will be the way in which we talk about souls that are ailing. As a point of departure, I use the later Wittgenstein’s notion of the soul as anti‐dualist and anti‐substantive, which brings it close to Dennett’s or Davidson’s philosophy of mind, but which Wittgensteinian ethicists have elaborated upon as concern…

Don’t Look Askance
The paper is a discussion of film expressions of environmental emotions, in particular of eco-anger. It discusses several distinctions within the notion of anger (in particular that of honour-related vs. justice-related anger) and argues that eco-anger can take accordingly varied forms. As an expression of honour-related eco-anger, the film Don’t Look Up and its cinematic tools are analysed. This film is contrasted with justice-related forms of e…

"Morální intuice"
Text usiluje o krátký kritický přehled některých prací sociálního psychologa Jonathana Haidta, s ohledem na to, jaké důsledky z Haidtových tvrzení vyplývají pro pojem morálky a možnosti filosofické diskuse o morálních problémech. Budu tvrdit, že jakkoli jsou Haidtova zjištění a jejich interpretace v mnohém pozoruhodná a přínosná, některé aspekty lidské morálky a morálního života zkreslují a spíše znesnadňují, než usnadňují jejich porozumění. V pr…
Environmentalism without ideology’ and the dreams of wiping out humanity
My aim is to discuss the rhetoric of expertise as objective, and ideology-and value-free, on the example of environmental policy. The first section introduces examples of the common rhetorical figure of expert, ideology-free environmental protection, revealing their presuppositions. The second introduces objects of comparison - the cartoonish proposals of wiping out humanity - with the aim of showing that the two groups of proposals assume an ana…
