Following Nature? The Transition from an Aesthetics of Nature to an Ethics of Nature in Schelling
In view of the diagnosis of the Anthropocene, the need for a “different” relationship between humans and nature that “follows nature” (naturam sequi) is often emphasized. This claim can be traced back historically to Schelling, among others. However, as soon as the concept of nature is perceived in its ambivalence and historical contingency, the naturam sequi argument seems to fall prey to the naturalistic fallacy. This article argues that Schell…
Societal implications of bioinspired technologies
Blurring the boundaries between living and non-living? Examining and mapping the living properties of engineered matter and systems
Connecting the methods of psychology and philosophy
One major challenge of the 21st century is the increasingly rapid development of new technologies and their evaluation. In this article we argue for an interdisciplinary approach to meet this demand for evaluating new and specifically bioinspired technologies. We combine the consideration of normative principles in the field of ethics with psychological-empirical research on attitudes. In doing so, the paper has a twofold concern: first, we discu…
Introduction
In a paradigmatic selection, the Special Issue unites contributions from biology, sustainability research, psychology and philosophy as well as media science and literary studies. It aims to discuss to what extent and on what basis the concept of nature is treated in the Anthropocene discourse with new perspectives, intentions and narratives. Not only the possibly changed conditions for a definition of nature in the Anthropocene are questioned, b…
Vom ‚Vorzug theosophischer Systeme‘
Suite à son départ pour Munich en 1806, Schelling a manifesté un intérêt croissant pour les textes mystiques et théosophiques, stimulé notamment par son collègue et ami munichois Franz von Baader. D’un côté, Schelling se démarque clairement de la prétendue immédiateté des textes théosophiques et mystiques, car la ‘simple vision’ (bloßes Schauen) ininterrompue de l’absolu ne permet aucune différenciation, et donc aucune conscience de l’absolu. Mai…
Reactions of sciences to the Anthropocene
The Anthropocene is the new geological epoch, characterized by the accelerating global influence of humankind and the impending point of no return on environmental changes. In this article, we highlight reactions of scientists to the challenges of the Anthropocene from the perspectives of biomimetics and sustainability research. To answer novel questions in the Anthropocene context, scientists have established relevant approaches to collaborate a…
