"This volume presents new philosophical perspectives on environmental emotions. It explores the motivating nature of emotions such as anger, grief, and hope in relation to the current climate crisis. Many of our emotional responses to the climate crisis take a distressed form like anxiety, despair, or grief. However, these emotions almost always coexist with hope, drive toward action, or a strengthened sense of relationality and belonging. This book explores the different levels at which these tensions take place. Part 1 discusses the conceptual and linguistic notions we use to make sense of our ecological predicament. Part 2 looks at the embedded dimension of our emotions: how we feel about the climate crisis as members of our communities and how our emotions are interconnected with what we do and how we work in and for our communities. Several chapters in this section explicitly discuss hope. Finally, Part 3 has a phenomenological and existential focus: it explores the nature of the rootedness and how it shapes our emotional experiences during the climate crisis. The Philosophy of Environmental Emotions will appeal to scholars and graduate students working in environmental philosophy, philosophy of emotion, and environmental psychology"--

Recenzijas
"The environment is the main source of our emotional well-being; yet, we do not take sufficient time to know what kind of emotional impact environmental damages have on us and our well-being. This book offers a unique opportunity to understand how we feel in front of our environmental changes and how we do better for us and our future generations."
Susi Ferrarello, California State University, East Bay, USA
"In times of environmental despair, a volume exploring the ethical significance of grief and hope in view of the ecological crisis is direly needed. This book offers vital scholarship at a crucial moment of planetary emergency."
