Environmental Hermeneutics Blog
The relatively new field of philosophy called Environmental Hermeneutics has perhaps only a few handfuls of people devoted to its exploration, but it’s nevertheless gaining recognition with delivered papers and published articles. Lead scholars in the field Brian Treanor, David Utsler, Forrest Clingerman and Martin Drenthen have recently started an Environmental Hermeneutics blog which promises to bring their work and the work of others in the field to a larger audience. The blog “reports news of the intersection between philosophical hermeneutics and environmental thought.” Its area of study “has variously been called ‘ecological hermeneutics,’ ‘environmental hermeneutics,’ ‘hermeneutics of place,’ ‘hermeneutics of landscape,’ and ‘biological hermeneutics.’” The blog “also serves as a clearinghouse for information on an electronic seminar devoted to the topic, to be held during the 2010-11 academic year.” Those interested in hermeneutics, environmentalism, justice, identity, biology, ecology, and philosophy in general would do well add the blog to their reading list.
