ecophilia — an emerging philosophy

<p>I knew the essence of ecophilia was to create beauty by living in loving kinship with our home. Inspired by the biophilia hypothesis, as described and popularised by Edward O. Wilson, which suggests that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life, what particularly fascinated me was that biophilia seemed to combine deep care for the more-than-human world with aesthetics. Beauty is not an inherent part of the sustainability discourse. Yet, I am hungry for beauty. I seek beauty everywhere. In my home, in gardening, in my friendships, in landscapes, or in clothes. I feel most alive in the beautiful.</p> <p><a href="https://boehmejessica.medium.com/ecophilia-an-emerging-philosophy-efe61d989290"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
