The look

Keywords: Umwelt; agency; ecology

Summary/Abstract: The article starts off from some notions of Jakob von Uexküll and Jean-Paul Sartre, in order to think of nature and all its members as having a viewpoint of their own, so that they “look” at each other and us, humans. In the age of growing anonymity in the relations between humans and their environment (think of the food industry, for instance), it might be good to develop (or refresh) a conceptual framework for dealing with the subjectivity of living beings. This can reinforce and justify the claims of ecological movement.
