nature strikes back

12-13 June 2025

Being Human on Technologized Earth

Institute of Philosophy, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague

One cannot, particularly at present, meaningfully consider
the human condition without also considering the condition of nature.
Whether we accept the concept of the Anthropocene or not, it is evident that humans are having an enormous impact on the Earth, and the natural environment is striking back. This dynamic raises a variety of feelings and evokes pressing practical and theoretical questions. These span topics such as ethics and justice in the Anthropocene, the relationship between nature and technology, the emotions associated with climate change and many others. The conference Nature Strikes Back brings together scholars from the philosophy of technology and environmental philosophy to explore these critical issues.
