Environmental hermeneutics as an interdisciplinary phenomenon

The article discusses the interdisciplinary nature of environmental hermeneutics and its role in the formation of modern environmental consciousness. It is emphasized that environmental hermeneutics, as a special interdisciplinary direction, is today a connecting link for socio-humanitarian knowledge: it allows us to comprehend the historical origins of environmental interest in philosophical hermeneutics; it also makes it possible to consider environmental consciousness and self-awareness as reality and as knowledge. The author of the article also notes that within the framework of environmental hermeneutics, it is possible to identify the role of cultural, historical and philosophical experience of hermeneutics as the art of understanding and interpretation (narration), comprehension of meaning in the study of environmental consciousness, as well as the implementation of hermeneutic strategy in the practical (ecological, first of all) field. The author turns to classical representatives of the hermeneutic approach in philosophy (Gadamer, Ricoeur), as well as to modern research (Clingerman, Drenthen) in the field of environmental hermeneutics. Today, against the backdrop of a deteriorating environmental situation, it is becoming more and more obvious that general alarmist calls and slogans to protect nature, abandon harmful industries, etc. are ineffective. There is a gap between rational scientific assessments of the catastrophic state of affairs in this area and its emotional and existential understanding. The author believes that the interdisciplinary nature of environmental hermeneutics is becoming one of the factors for actively improving the current crisis situation in ecology: in particular, we can talk about the formation of ecological self-awareness, which combines a comprehensive understanding of what is happening.
