This second theme of the series “Let’s talk trash” looks at philosophy’s role in shaping our society.
DESCRIPTION
Let’s change the way we think the world if we want to change the way we act in it. Listen to the Californian Environmental Philosopher Dr. Yogi Hendlin as he introduces the discipline of Environmental Philosophy. You’ll find links for further explanation on the topics he touches upon. Hope you enjoy.
In the past two decades, biosemioticians such as Jesper Hoffmeyer and Kalevi Kull have began to tease out the ethical implications of biosemiotics. This impetus has continued in the last decade, with a new generation of scholars attending to this core issue. The foundational argument is that if semiosis is a morally-relevant capacity, and if all living systems are semiotic, then biosemiosis can serve as the basis for justifying the attribution of moral status to humans, to animals, and in a larger perspective to all living beings. Biosemiotic ethics opens the road towards a non-functional ecological perspective that doesn't reduce other beings and ecosystems to their usefulness for human existence.
The issue has been guest-edited and prefaced by Morten Tønnessen, Jonathan Beever and Yogi Hale Hendlin, and contains original research articles by John Deely, Andreas Weber, Hans Werner Ingensiep, Jessica Ullrich, Konrad Ott, Gerald Ostdiek, and by the guest editors, and an interview with the legendary pioneer of the field, Wendy Wheeler.
