Introduction to Eco-Imagination

This contributed volume presents eco-imagination as a new tool for knowledge and cultural, artistic, as well as scientific expression. Herein, eco-phenomenology becomes capable of opening a viable path towards a future of environmental and human sustainability.

Urgency and Traditional Phenomenology

The contemporary urgency of sustainable configurations of the world and of life has made clear the inadequacy of the traditional phenomenological conception of imagination, understood in the mere relationship with perception.

Ecological Potential of Imagination

These chapters verify the ecological potential of the imagination, thanks to which the latent virtualities in the processes of self-individualization that constitute evolving life become visible.

Design Thinking and Ontopoiesis

The book collectively argues that only if we use the eco-imagination can one introduce new forms of design thinking needed, since they are intrinsic to the ontopoietic progression of the logos of life.

Target Audience

This volume appeals to students and researchers in phenomenology and related fields.
