It is possible to identify in the current ecological crisis a disturbing inadequacy of the affective disposition towards nature, considered trivially as an external container at our disposal. In order to try to reverse the dramatic scenario, of which we are not yet properly aware, it is necessary to promote a new cultural horizon and in this sense a refounding of ontology and epistemic ways is essential to trace and pursue alternative cognitive paths and establish new relational dispositions towards the world around us. In order to embark on new ways of accessing knowledge, it is necessary to to enter into an empathic relationship with the world, with organic and inorganic life, not only with humans but also with non-humans.
