The evening lecture at the opening of the conference of the German Society for Phenomenological Research by Corine Pelluchon (Paris) will be dedicated to a philosophy of corporeality that takes the receptivity and materiality of human existence seriously and considers its ethical and political implications. Ecology – the protection of the biosphere and justice towards animals – thus proves to be a central concern of philosophy.

The event is being organised in cooperation with the Institute of Philosophy at TU Darmstadt.
