The Ecosophy of Felix Guattari: an analysis of philosophy for environmental issues
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
The concept of Ecosophy was created by the French philosopher Felix Guattari, who expresses how the subjects interact with each other and with the environment. With Ecosophy it is possible to understand that nature and human beings are part of the same communicative ecosystem, thus proposing discussions between environment and philosophy. Thus, this work had as objective to reflect on the ecosophical thought, as an instrument of knowledge of the human sense in nature, through a theoretical discussion of the subject addressed. It was based on aspects derived from the thoughts and records of Félix Guattari, who contributed and aided in the problematization of the research. The Ecosophy proposed by Guattari addresses our understanding, as part of the environment in which we live, and how we learn and act on environmental issues, based on the three ecologies: the environment, social relations and human subjectivity ( mental). In this sense, environmental problems are results of the evolution of society, in its economic, political, social and educational aspects, which synthesize the subjectivity of the human condition. Thus, this subjectivity means our perception about the world we live in and about ourselves, our way of thinking and acting to preserve and care for the environment. According to Ecophotos proposed by Guattari, what is at stake is the way of living from now on on this planet, in the context of the acceleration of the technical-scientific mutations and the considerable demographic growth. In this way, it is possible to understand that Ecosophy is more than a reflection on ecology, nature and human subjectivity, it is a search for concrete actions, taking into account the interaction of man with the environment.
