ABSTRACT What is “critical” about critical theory? I claim that, to be “critical enough”, critical theory’s future depends on being able to handle today’s planetary climate crisis, which presupposes a philosophy of nature. Here, I argue that Axel Honneth’s vision of critical theory represents a nature denial and is thus unable to criticize humans’ instrumentalization as well as capitalism’s exploitation of nature. However, I recover what I take to be a missed opportunity of what I term as the early Honneth’s original ecological insight, which I reconstruct precisely as a philosophy of nature. Consequently, I identify what I describe as an ecological sensibility in Honneth. This refers to a bodily capability through which humans sensuously can resonate, communicate, and interact – and through that morally engage – with nature in its entire complexity. Furthermore, by virtue of this ecological sensibility, humans can recognize nature’s inherent moral value as a sensuously affected party. Then, the early Honneth’s original insight is recovered as a critical political ecology, which is needed facing today’s climate crisis.

生态敏感性：在气候危机时代恢复阿克塞尔·洪尼斯的自然哲学

摘要批判理论的“批判”是什么？我声称，批判理论的“足够批判”的未来取决于能够处理当今以自然哲学为前提的星球气候危机。在这里，我认为，阿克塞尔·霍内斯（Axel Honneth）的批判理论视野代表着对自然的否定，因此无法批评人类的工具化以及资本主义对自然的剥削。但是，我找回了我误以为机会的机会，我将其称为霍尼特早期的原始生态见解，并将其准确地重构为自然哲学。因此，我确定了我所描述的霍内斯的生态敏感性。这是指一种身体能力，人类可以通过这种能力共鸣，交流，与自然互动，并通过道德参与与自然融为一体。此外，凭借这种生态敏感性，人类可以将自然的内在道德价值视为感性影响的一方。然后，霍恩斯早期的原始见解被作为一种重要的政治生态而恢复，面对当今的气候危机，这是至关重要的。
