Bøger af Emanuele Coccia

I Planternes liv – blandingens metafysik foreslår Emanuele Coccia en fornyet kosmologi og naturfilosofi. Naturens væsner, der længe har været forbeholdt naturvidenskaberne, placeres i hjertet af human- og samfundsvidenskaberne, og den økologiske krise er først og fremmest et æstetisk problem, her forstået som et spørgsmål om sensibilitet, perception og repræsentation. Her ligger en af nøglerne til at forstå planternes liv og deres konceptuelle univers. Resultatet af denne hybride analytiske angrebsvinkel er en række af de mest originale, kraftfulde idéer inden for moderne økologisk tænkning, der tager form af en fornyet naturfilosofi.Bogen udkom først på fransk med titlen La vie des plantes i 2016, er siden oversat til adskillige sprog og har fra såvel filosofiske fagfæller som den bredere offentlighed høstet stor anerkendelse for sine stilistiske greb og begrebslige originalitet.“Back to animals! Back to mushrooms! And now back to plants! It is with plants that this marvellous, witty, and immensely literate book wants us, the human readers, to get acquainted again. And, of course, with plants it is actually toward the sun that weare reoriented. Philosophy is on the move again, not exactly forward but downward, giving a completely different meaning to what counts as a foundation to thought.”Bruno Latour“The view of life as interdependence is a particularly affecting and relevant way tothink about living and coping in the Anthropocene, when the ways that humans affectthe literal composition of the atmosphere has become the existential questionof our time.” The NationEmanuele Coccia er lektor på École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales i Paris.

A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom - are these rooms all that make a home? Not at all, argues Emanuele Coccia. The buildings we inhabit are of immense psychological and cultural significance. They play a decisive role in human flourishing and, for hundreds of years, their walls and walkways, windows and doorways have guided our relationships with others and with ourselves. They reflect and reinforce social inequalities; they allow us to celebrate and cherish those we love. They are the places of return that allow us to venture out into the world.In this intimate, elegantly argued account, Coccia shows how the architecture of home has shaped, and continues to shape, our psyches and our societies, before then masterfully leading us towards a more creative, ecological way of dwelling in the world.

Claims advertising is nothing but a metaphysical hypothesis about the moral nature of things: objects aren't purely physical or economical entities. Any object, regardless of its nature, can become a complex of possible happiness--not just an object of value, but a moral source of perfection for any one of us.

This book is a rehabilitation sensibility. It defines what we call sensibility or sensible life by defining the ontological status of images. It shows that images have an intermediate ontological status and exist in an autonomous sphere. It also explores our interactions with images in dream, fashion and language.
