Animal pneuma : reflections on environmental respiratory phenomenology
Lenart Škof, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: This essay is an attempt to propose an outline of a new respiratory animal philosophy. Based on an analysis of the forgetting of breath in Western philosophy, it aims to gesture towards a future, breathful and compassionate world of co-sharing and co-breathing. In the first part, the basic features of forgetting of breath are explained based on David Abram’s work in respiratory ecophilosophy. This part also introduces an important contribution to modern philosophy by Ludwig Klages. The second part is dedicated to reflections on what I understand as an unfortunate transition from soul and pneuma to spirit and Geist. Based on these analyses, I proceed towards an idiosyncratic thought on the nocturnal mystery of pneuma, with references to ancient Upanishadic and 20th-century phenomenological Levinasian thought. Based on these teachings, I argue that, at the bottom of her existence, the subject is a lung partaking in an immense external lung (Merleau-Ponty). In the fourth part of the essay, I extend my reflections toward comparative animal respiratory phenomenology and argue for the immense compassion for all our fellow breathing beings. Finally, in the concluding, fifth part of this essay, I am arguing for a future biocentric and breathful environment, signifying and bringing a new compassionate-respiratory alliance into the world.

On dreams, human imagination, and technology
Lenart Škof, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: In this paper, I reflect on human imagination, the intention of technology, and the future of humanity in the era of the Anthropocene. I begin by presenting the environmental crisis and declare a need to protect and safeguard nature. In the first part, I offer an explanation of a dream of an airliner and link it to the Bachelardian theory of aerial imagination and oneiric flight. I show how, today, technology has entered our lives profoundly and how it has become closely intertwined with us human beings. Based on this, the second part is dedicated to Martin Heidegger and his question concerning technology. By analyzing Heidegger’s seminal essay on technology, I argue for an alternative possibility of thinking about human artefacts (such as various tools or even an airliner) beyond them being merely a standing-reserve and thus rather as a mode of unconcealement. The third and last part of this essay is dedicated to Ilia Delio’s Teilhardian cosmic vision of the future of technological progress. Technology, for Delio, is a part of this cosmic narrative and human beings represent the thinking portion of the universe. I conclude with a thought on a new elemental consciousness and imagination, in which nature, its life force, and the most advanced technology, including AI, would become a part of a new panentheistic whole.

International Interdisciplinary Symposium Surviving the Anthropocene: Towards Elemental Literacy and Interdisciplinary Partnerships : online, May 24-26, 2021 : programme and abstracts
2021, other monographs and other completed works

Abstract: Knjiga povzetkov mednarodnega interdisciplinarnega simpozija Preživeti dobo antropocena: k elementalni pismenosti in interdisciplinarnim partnerstvom predstavlja prispevke, ki združujejo inovativno g/lokalno vedenje s področij filozofije in pedagogike, ekofeminizma, politike, teologije, biosocialnih kulturnih študij ter teorij in praks utelešenega kritičnega mišljenja, z namenom oblikovanja pravičnih in realističnih načinov življenja na Zemlji, ki bodo omogočili preživetje Antropocena. Žarišče je sodeljeno z naravnim okoljem, ki ga razumemo kot čutečega partnerja z vrednotami, ki presegajo zgolj komodifikacijo in gospodarske okvire. S pripoznavanjem naravnega okolja kot dejavnika v lastnem postajanju, si simpozij prizadeva zadihati z naravo kot njen sopotnik. Nadalje si snovalke in snovalci simpozija z novim konceptualnim razmišljanjem in sodelovanjem, ki zagovarja elementalno filozofijo povezovanja in spoštovanja, prizadevamo za boljše razumevanje in razrešitev nasprotij med naravo, kulturo, etiko in politiko. Razvijanje elementalne pismenosti za prenos sodobnega razumevanja, kaj je narava, kako se nanjo vpliva in kako deluje, je osrednje stičišče prispevkov simpozija, ki si želi zamišljati in dinamično sodelovati v novih, kompleksnih in prilagodljivih možnostih, izzivih in reformah okoljskega upravljanja, ter filozofskih analizah obnovitvenih usmeritvah ekološke pravičnosti, tako konceptualno kot praktično.
Keywords: elementalna filozofija, biodružbenost, okoljska humanistika, okoljevarstvena politika
