Planetar denken

Thinking planetary means taking the Earth seriously as a planet: from the Earth's core to interplanetary space, from the nanosecond to deep time, from elementary particles to the Earth's mass. If the focus is on interactions between our home planet and ourselves, a planetary knowledge paradigm takes shape. It goes hand in hand with the relationalisation of human existence in the universe and the relativisation of the anthropocentric view. Thus, questions of habitability and hospitality come to the fore and the creation of new knowledge always means the creation of new worlds. This book addresses all sciences concerned with the universe and human beings.
