Renato Boccali – författare

This collection of research contributes to the common goal of looking at the imagination from the novel perspective of its ecological potential. The phenomenological imagination, thus, appears no longer confined in the mere relationship with perception but emerges as the source of the experience of the possible, through which the latent virtualities in the processes of self-individualization that constitute evolving life become visible. According to Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, we must turn to this ecological potential of our creative imagination if we want to overcome the current and unsustainable order of the world and life; also avoiding the temptation of dominance and exploitation that constantly emanates from the rationalistic-technological logos inherited from Modernity. Eco-phenomenology built through eco-imagination is the new frontier to be explored and founded to achieve a sustainable future.  This volume appeals to students and researchers in phenomenology and related fields.

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