PRACTICAL ekoPHILSOPHY

is a deep leverage for healthy people and a healthy planet.

WHY PHILOSOPHY

The challenges of our times – that is climate change, species extinction, increasing rates of depression, post-truth rivalries, as well as an increasing divide within society – have one common denominator: they are a reflection of an inner, philosophical crisis. Or in other words: we are in an ekophilosophical health crisis.

HOW WE DO IT

We use practical ekophilosophy as a meta-technology to achieve ekophilosophical health.

Unlike medicine, law, or science, which provide concrete answers, practical ekophilosophy encourages us to grapple with the unknown and to question our own assumptions. It brings to the centre the cultivation of individual and collective virtues for individual, societal and environmental health.

Practical ekophilosophy is a mode of existing in the world, which “has to be practised at each instant, and the goal of which was to transform the whole of the individual's life." (Pierre Hadot).

ekophilosophical health consists of the following:

  • a cosmology: the nature of the universe, its origin, structure, and evolution.
  • an ontology: the nature of being, existence, and reality.
  • an epistemology: what knowledge is (e.g., are spiritual experiences a valid form of knowing)
  • ethics: what’s good and bad
  • an axiology: what is the good life
  • an anthropology: what it means to be human and human’s role in the universe
  • a social imaginary: how society should be organized.
  • and áskesis: which simply means ‘exercise’ or ‘training’ in ancient Greek.
