Présentation

I deal with the issue of the environmental crisis from the perspective of a phenomenologically embedded qualitative social ontology.

The second point I argue for is that our environment is also a «common-surrounding world» whose personal collectives are its essential correlate: «common-surrounding world» and personal collectives existentially depend on one another, and human persons, both individual and collective, are responsible for the existence of their environment and its entities.
