CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue:
THINKING NATURE TODAY
Deadline for submission: 29th February 2016.
Over centuries, the category of Nature was the foundation of the unified vision of the world. Yet, it appears today to have lost that unifying role.
On the one hand, this is due to the segmentation of knowledge into multiple sciences and fields of study. On the other hand, it stems from the “crisis of nature”, which even calls into question the continuance of elements of naturality within a highly mechanized and technological future.
This special issue of Philosophica invites contributions on the following questions:
Is there still place for a philosophy of Nature?
Which are the contemporary conceptions of Nature and of the natural?
Does philosophy need to address Nature nowadays in order to think totality?
Can philosophy of landscape replace the classical philosophies of Nature?
How can the anthropocene contribute to a better understanding of Nature?
Editorial Committee:
Adrian Switzer (University of Missouri - Kansas City)
Adriana Veríssimo Serrão (Universidade de Lisboa)
Elisabete de Sousa (Universidade de Lisboa)
Leonel Ribeiro dos Santos (Universidade de Lisboa)
Maria Filomena Molder (Universidade Nova de Lisboa)
