Abstract

The text is based on the consideration that today the ecological crisis is framed above all as a ‘climatic change’ or ‘energy crisis’ and is generally addressed with strategies linked to economic rationality. The main hypothesis that the author tries to verify is that this rationality deeply permeates both the governmental practices of our society and the ethos of the contemporary individual; therefore, this rationality, on the one hand, strongly conditions our ways of understanding and trying to solve the environmental question and, on the other hand, it jeopardizes our possibility to frame the ecological crisis in more adequate ways, i.e. as a crisis of “inhabiting“ (Heidegger) and of man’s relationship with the “world of durable things” (Arendt). Framing the ecological question in this way, the author also discusses both the predominance of the thermodynamic scientific paradigm over the ideas of environment and the biopolitical implications of the ecological crisis itself. Finally, he considers in a critical way the possibility to investigate this crisis using the concepts of “world risk society” (Beck), “state of exception” (Schmitt and Agamben), and “disaster capitalism” (Klein).
