Ecophilosophy på Silkeborg Højskole

This subject is taught in English.

Ever wondered what “nature” really means — and where humans fit in?
In this course, we explore the connection between humans, environment, and nature, and how different perspectives can change the way we see the world. We will look at how technology, climate change, and activism affect our lives, and how we can rethink our own role in the bigger picture.

Eco-philosophy is not about memorizing theories – it is about asking big questions that matter right now:

  • What does it mean to be part of nature?
  • How do our values shape the choices we make in times of ecological crisis?
  • And what does it take to live well – not just for ourselves, but as part of a larger community of life?

By the end, you will have experienced new ways of thinking about your place in the world, as well as tools to live more consciously and sustainably.

We kick things off by creating an “ecological self-portrait.” Without any theory, you will share what nature means to you through your own experiences. As the course moves on, we will revisit these portraits to see how your ideas evolve with new insights.
