Following the concluding conference From Relations to Politics: Pathways Towards a Planetary Praxis at Schloss Rauischholzhausen (Nov. 18–20), journalist Thomas Thiel, who participated in the three-day event, published his reflections in the Frankfurter Allgemeine.
He states that the Panel on Planetary Thinking investigates ways to overcome the boundary between humans and nature and to establish a political order that does justice to the Earth. Through artistic interventions, scientific research, and philosophical reflection, participants explored how nature can “speak” for itself, from AI avatars representing rivers to sensor-based monitoring of ecosystems. Planetary thinking envisions the planet as a living, interconnected system, where human and non-human actors interact closely. It combines philosophical approaches, cultural-scientific theories, artistic practices, and natural-scientific methods to explore practical and conceptual pathways for symbiotic human-planet relations, examining both the opportunities and limits of technology, data, and politics in shaping a future where the Earth’s living systems are recognized and protected.
