Ecopsychology and phenomenology
an introduction
pp. 1-8
Abstract
Introduction to the book and to the intersection of ecopsychology and phenomenology. Explores the history of how the two fields have interacted with each other and how an early contra-naturalist penchant within phenomenology was transformed into a fecund opening towards ecological thinking. The chapter highlights the two fields' shared values, sensibilities and axioms and includes a contemporary and inclusive definition of ecopsychology. Introductions for each section and each chapter are provided. Concluding paragraphs speak to how the volume as a whole allows the reader to engage more fully with the climate crisis, thereby laying the groundwork for a different future for ourselves and the planet.
