How to Live on Earth? Anthropocene Students Read „Philosophical Tales” by Michel Piquemal

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes Michel Piquemal’s book Philosophical Tales: How to Live on Earth? (2015) from an ecological perspective. The Philosophical Tales series, initiated in 2003, has gained a wide recognition worldwide and in Poland, includes tales and other cultural texts from various cultures and historical periods. The third part of the series, entitled How to live on Earth?, focuses on the human – nature – planet relationship, highlighting the need for harmony between people and nature and the ecological responsibility of contemporary society. It draws attention to urgent ecological issues such as environmental pollution, global warming, natural disasters, species extinction, and the overproduction of toxic waste. The questions and comments in the Philosopher’s Workshop modules help readers understand the deeper meanings of the texts and stimulate reflection on contemporary ecological challenges. Michel Piquemal emphasizes that ecology, as an Earth science, includes the understanding of the consequences of human actions on the environment while the tales in this collection aim to educate young people about ecology and inspire actions for environmental protection. This part of Philosophical Tales is not only a literary introduction to ecological issues but also an encouragement for critical thinking about the climate crisis. The book shows how tales from different cultures can educate people about biodiversity, sustainable development, collective responsibility, and nature conservation. In How to Live on Earth? Michel Piquemal strives to raise ecological awareness and promote pro-ecological attitudes, especially among the students of the Anthropocene epoch.
