Ecocriticism: a new perspective of looking at the relation between human and nature along with collective human responsibilities

Abstract

"Looking at the present world, it becomes very clear that climate change is one of the most widely debated issues. With the rise of the planet's temperature causing the melting of ice caps, disasters of the natural world, and degradation of the environment, climate change has become a crisis for humans in the present world. Humans are concerned about what should be the proper human approach to nature, whether or not the current approach is responsible for the climate crisis, and lastly, how humans could deal with the anxiety about the uncertain future of the climate where every human attempt to solve the climate crisis can be a failure. This study tries to address some of the aspects of climate change and the existential crisis humans are facing about those aspects. The core statement of the study is that the proper human approach to nature has to be non-dualist. It is the dualist approach of considering nature as an object that is creating an existential crisis for humans that their own approach to nature might turn against them by the revenge of nature. Lastly, humans should get away from any false hope as a solution and accept that, in the face of an uncertain future humans have no particular solution to the climate crisis. Only then humans could disrupt the current approach and explore every other approach to encounter the uncertain future of the climate. Both primary and secondary research methods have been followed in the study. The process of analysis of the study is qualitative using descriptive information. The study uses the theories of Bruno Latour, Dipesh Chakrabarty, and Slavoj Zizek, to add a new perspective about the human approach to the climate along with the collective responsibilities."
