Philosophy as Orientation

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. > Philosophy as Orientation draws on Anglophone philosophical traditions and philosophers, including Dewey, Rorty, Wittgenstein, Williams, Cavell and Putnam. It puts these traditions and thinkers into a generative dialogue with continental philosophers, in particular Schelling and Nietzsche, providing a novel framework for understanding ecological crisis. Translated by Vanessa Di Stefano, this book will be essential reading not only for philosophers but also for those in environmental humanities and science studies.
