Ecopsychology and phenomenology

an introduction

Fernando Castrillón

pp. 1-8

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.
