Course objectives
The course gives a philosophical reflection on the nature of the ecological crisis as a conflict between natural and cultural evolution. Attempts to rehabilitate the neglected value of nature (natural order), and human culture shows a different type of order ontical earthly reality. The solutions to the current global ecological crisis may be based on a new ontological picture of the world (which outlines the concept ontology), but also honors the role of culture in general, including the intermediary function of politics and economics.
