I was able to publish a chapter of my ongoing PhD-project "Affirmation of Ecological Reason(s)"at The Trumpeter - Journal for Ecosophy. In it, I argue how Nietzsche can be regarded as a key-figure within the emergence of some "ecological reason" within occidental main-stream discourses. Find the abstract below and the paper here.
"Ecosophical discourses around the ecological condition that is sometimes
referred to as the “Anthropocene” require a fundamental rethinking of
key concepts of occidental philosophy, including reason.
Nietzsche’s body of work offers manifold tools for the rethinking of
reason, and this paper seeks to apply them to achieve a “new ecological
image of thought.” It will demonstrate 1) how there is a clear
ecological awareness motivating Nietzsche’s affirmative critique of
reason, 2) how one can find rudiments of a pluralization of the concept
of reason in Nietzsche's body of work, as well as 3) traces of a new,
qualitatively different form of ecological reason for the time called
the Anthropocene – with all its problems and possibilities. In doing so,
this paper will demonstrate how Nietzsche can be very productively
applied to contemporary eco-philosophical discussions."
