Concerning Husserl's concept of nature

One of the dominant ideas shaping the landscape of our existence is the discussion of the ecological situation of nature. The debate over whether or not the being of the world is being modified in an unalterable direction is discussed in all circles. Ecology stands at the forefront of this debate.;Edmund Husserl's phenomenological texts are concerned with crucial issues that are of relevance to ecology. Husserl, on the basis of his phenomenology, investigates such topics as the meaning of, and scientific construction of "nature". Husserl also focuses on the crisis of humanity that comes about from the universal mathematization of nature. Historical reflections, of a phenomenological type, are devoted to the concept of nature and its relation to the world we inhabit. Phenomenology, methodologically, is a advantageous in comparison to ecology.;This thesis is devoted to the explication of Husserl's concept of nature found in certain texts of his. A partial reason for this undertaking is the examination of the assumption that ecology may benefit from a merger with Husserlian phenomenology. By outlining Husserl's philosophical method and concepts I argue that there are key aspects of Husserl's work that could be of benefit to ecology. It is concluded, on the basis of Husserl's phenomenology, that ecology can have a secure and advantageous ground in phenomenology.
