Do nada, a natureza – língua e realidade em Vilém Flusser
This essay presents the way in which Vilém Flusser conceives the idea of nature in his philosophy, especially in Língua e Realidade but also in Natural:mente – vários acessos ao significado de natureza. This notion leads to a poetic vision of what we call nature. In Língua e realidade, Flusser states that language creates reality. In his theory of language he will propose that nature is the mode of reality that results from the poetic activity of language. Our hypothesis is that the ecological crisis is also the result of the epistemic privilege of the scientific view of nature, which translates into its instrumentalization. We would need a more poetic and intuitive perception of nature, like the one Ailton Krenak presents in his books. It would be worth considering whether the ecological crisis and its call for the emergency of a new planetary sensitivity and consciousness are not indicating to us the need to relearn how to listen to the world.
