"Within the context of the Age of the Anthropocene, this book outlines the existential preconditions for understanding the language of nature. Andrew Fuyarchuk uses environmental hermeneutics as an example of a social conundrum, which is traced to the barriers created by Heidegger to understand animals-in-their environment."
"In contrast to the tradition of metaphysics that overshadows Heidegger, these philosophies think about humans and nature within a "one-world view" and thereby provide the conceptual resources to redefine what it means to be a human being from the domain of "being-in-nature." This entails a transformation in the meaning of existence that the author develops in terms of three Gadamerian dispositional preconditions for a hermeneutics of nature:"
Within the Age of the Anthropocene, existential preconditions for understanding the language of nature are delineated. Environmental hermeneutics emerges as a social conundrum rooted in barriers created by Heidegger's account of animals-in-their-environment. Li Zehou's anthropological ontology and Daoist philosophy articulate a one-world view that situates humans and nature together as being-in-nature, countering metaphysical separations. That reframing provides conceptual resources to redefine human existence from the domain of embedded natural being. Hermeneutical practice requires three Gadamerian dispositional preconditions: empathetic bodily affinity, receptivity to ambient environments, and imitation as a way of knowing, enabling interpretation of nature's language.
