Funded Activity Summary

Representing Nature: Romantic Empiricism and Environmental Philosophy. This project aims to investigate a distinctive tradition of empiricism that emerged in Germany during the Romantic period; illustrate important parallels between this tradition and contemporary environmental philosophy; and articulate the ways in which the methodological innovations of Romantic empiricism can address the key challenges facing current environmental thought. The expected outcomes of the project will be a richer and more nuanced understanding of one of the most crucial periods in the history of German philosophy; important insights into the central concerns of environmental philosophy; and new conceptual and methodological tools for thinking about the natural world and the human relation to it.
