Felix Treutner

I am interested in the genealogy of the (post)modern liberal societies and the development of their specific and unique relationship with nature. I am particularly interested in the role played by the Christian religion in the genesis of this special kind of relationship with nature and to what extent religious thinking and experiences can still have a place in liberal political-philosophical discourse. Therefore, my interest in the WGEA research group focuses on the one hand on the manifestation of this special relationship to nature in the aesthetic experience of (post)modern subjects and on the other hand on the potential eschatological significance of these experiences. By eschatological, I also mean explicitly discourse-opening functions and their significance for the current climate crisis.
