Fudo: An East Asian Notion of Climate and Sustainability

March 8, 2023

fudo with tangible climatic, scenic and topographical characteristics

inter-personal dimension of fudo / spatiality of human being

the intertwined state between physical natural phenomena and humanity (590)
”Agent by which human life is objectified, and it is here that man comprehends himself; there is self-discovery”

A climatic phenomena- pervasive, embracing different indiv. within the same atmosphere

X something that can be objectified , rather it formulates a context in which different indiv. are located and embraced

“the self is not the heroic and indifferent subject who centers on an ego to measure the world at the outside, but the self as the capacity to be imbued by the efficacy of the climatic phenomenon”/ emptiness (592)

reciprocity, mutual-dependence and co-origination

self-discovery through fudo is never private but collective

‘reveals an inseparable link between natural phenomena and the dimension of “we” or the ethics of the inter-personal’

inter-personal mediated through climatic phenomena
