Abstract

Eco-conscious thinking. – The initial question is whether we can continue in today’s world in the same way as we have before? In answer to this question, it is necessary to rethink the basic concepts of being in the world, the understanding of entirety and world, the nature, the landscape around us, the physicality and the other people and the beings that surround us, as we do not live separately from the world but in an everyday contact with the world. Ecology is also a philosophy. The problem is that we have no understanding for the either, and we see only parts of nature. We just want to measure everything. We look at reality as an objective reality, which caused the misunderstanding of nature and the disruption of the relationship between man and nature. By analyzing the Being-in-a-World by Heidegger and Hogen, I want to re-examine the complexity of the relationship of man to the world, that is to say nature, which is a key topic, not only philosophy, more precisely ontology, but above all ecological education. In which I see the starting point of the situation and the need for change, more precisely we need ecopsychology.
