What is Eco-Phenomenology


Ecophenomenology can give us better access to nature than that represented by the naturalism which phenomenology was created to resist, by supplementing intentionality structurally with non- or pre-intentional characteristics of nature. Such a phenomenology concerns itself with the relationalities of worldly engagement-human and otherwise. Wood discusses four strands of relatedness: the invisibility of time, the celebration of finitude, the coordination of rhythms, and the breakdown of temporal horizons.
