Abstract
Paper presented at the Department of Philosophy, Presidency University, on 08/01/2023, to partially fulfill the requirements of the postgraduate academic programme. The paper deals with the ecological concern in the era of climate emergency as viewed from the post-humanist (not to be equated with artificial intelligence) perspective of eco-sexuality or sexecology (Stephens and Sprinkle, 2021), or as the author terms it, “nisarga srngara”, viz., the positive sexual (as in positive sexuality) relationship of the humans with the non-human natural world or cosmos, moving beyond the mainstream construal of sentient human love. In evolving an alternate definition of “intimacy”, the paper problematizes the traditionally postulated ‘nature-culture binary’, which presupposes an ontological distinction amidst the human and the non-human sets. The paper also questions the term “sexuality” by bringing out its wide connotations under a broad linguistic designation in connection with the postulates of core environmental philosophy, heavily drawing upon Benedict Spinoza and Rabindranath Tagore’s eco-philosophical approaches.
