Despite its ubiquity, the air we breathe usually goes unnoticed. We take the air for granted. Something changed, however, at the beginning of the 20th century. Or, as contemporary philosopher Peter Sloterdijk puts it, the 20th century began with the advent of chlorine gas in 1915, a tragic lesson that our air is not simply granted but also manipulable. Air became newly explicit, a situation Sloterdijk argues calls for moving beyond phenomenology as a philosophical discourse. Though this might seem like a significant challenge for Catholic philosophers, I argue Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si' has learned the lessons of air’s explication, gesturing toward a Catholic investigation of the politics of design.
