Emilio Carlo Corriero makes a radical intervention on the question of the Anthropocene, proposing that to rethink our relationship with nature also requires the rediscovery of philosophy understood as orientation.
This book contends that the environmental issue is a philosophical problem and outlines the theoretical contradictions that must first be overcome to effectively resolve the difficulties on a practical level. At the moment in which the human being discovers himself as a natural force capable of annihilating himself and other species, it is necessary to rethink human action in terms of cooperation with other entities: a natural world to which the human being belongs with his acts and his thoughts. Unlike other human activities, philosophy is capable of taking the right distance and orienting creativity, ultimately assigning a new meaning to the earth.
Emilio Corriero is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Turin, Italy.
