Résumé

The term Anthropocene began to appear more often in scientific discourse more than 20 years ago. It was an attempt to come closer to understanding the depth and seriousness of the impact of man and his activities on the planet Earth, with the intention in the future to mitigate these effects and prevent a possible globally catastrophic environmental collapse, which might involve the collapse of civilization itself. However, to date, our approach to the world has hardly changed at all. After the pandemic comes the threat of a world conflict, a nuclear war. Since our scientific wisdom seems powerless, even the most obvious and frightening scientific knowledge cannot somehow change the course of global society, we want to think about this situation from the perspective of the cosmological philosophy of education. We want to think about this situation from the perspective of the cosmological philosophy of education. Its central motive is the philosophical disclosure of the original ontological ground of our humanity, which is the world, the cosmos. This is a direct confrontation with the hitherto prevailing “market education”, which serves to maintain and consolidate the power schemes of capital policy.

Eva Dědečková, Institute of Philosophy, Slovak Academy of Sciences

Graduate of Charles University in Prague (Ph.D. in Philosophy, 2019), currently employed as a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy, Slovak Academy of Sciences. Her research is focused primarily on the cosmological philosophy of Eugen Fink and Friedrich Nietzsche, with emphasis on the philosophy of education.

Simon J. Charlesworth, Associated Scholar, Lehrstuhl für Allgemeine Soziologie und Soziologische Theorie Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Kapuzinergasse 2 85072 Eichstätt Germany

Simon J. Charlesworth did an MPhil in Social and Political Theory and then a PhD at Cambridge University.  He grew up amidst the ruins of a traditional industrial region in South Yorkshire, his education paralleled a life of unemployment, and has worked as an independent writer based in Rotherham, United Kingdom. His work cuts across the boundaries between Sociology and Philosophy and is strongly inspired by, among others, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Searle and Bourdieu. His analyses are ethnographically grounded in working class experiences, primarily in Northern England, but also provide powerful autobiographical testimonies to the institutional anchoring of the systematic devaluation of working class people in the institutions of contemporary society, especially in academia. He is the author of several articles and one monograph, A Phenomenology of Working Class Experience, published by Cambridge University Press in 2000.
