CFP: 2025 Online Symposium of the Network of Asian Environmental Philosophy
Environmental philosophy explores the ways we, humans, think about, value and relate to nature, other species, mountains and rivers, and so on. The limits of life often correspond to fascinating fringes in environmental philosophy, such as the blurry borders between life and non-life, which sometimes encompasses dimensions of regeneration, purification or cleansing, toxicity, and rebirth. Questioning these fringes, from voices from stones to conversations with rivers emerged as key themes from discussions during previous NAEP symposiums and NAEP reading group on animism. This NAEP symposium 2025 opens a space to further develop these exchanges with the theme of Life as Regeneration and Flourishing.
The NAEP 2025 Online Symposium welcomes contributions from scholars, practitioners and stakeholders on a broad range of aspects within Asian worldviews, including but not limited to:
- Ecological trauma, healing, regeneration, place-making after environmental destruction
- Philosophical dimensions of grassroots and justice initiatives on ecological remedies and restoration
- Artistic expressions (narratives, artforms, storytelling, memory landscape…) related to life and expressions of life in Asian cultures
- Spiritual & religious beliefs connected to life, regeneration, rebirth, purification, toxicity
- Ecofeminism views on birth, parenthood, caring and rebirth in connection with nature
- Grassroot perspectives and environmental practices related to life as regeneration
- Ethical and educational dimensions of our relationship with life and the natural world
- Early- and mid-career scholars are especially encouraged to send proposals.
