Abstract (EN)

Heidegger's philosophy is mostly discussed on; ontology - phenomenology - hermeneutics - existentialism - criticism of modernity (science-technical-art) - 'thinking' - religion and politics. Heidegger's inquiries have been included in the literature of the ecological thought, which has been widely discussed since the 1970s. However, all ecology movements have referred to Heidegger superficially (focused on technology discussions). Except for Deep Ecology and Nazi "Ecology", Heidegger's possible relationship with any ecology movement (social ecology, eco-socialism, eco-feminism, eco-anarchism) has not been questioned. This study claims that Heidegger has a unique approach to ecology by considering Heidegger's thoughts as a whole. Heidegger's unique approach to ecology is presented as broadly as possible by dealing with the discussions among the ecology movements by making mutual readings and interpretations. This study claims that Heidegger's thought reveals an ecology-oriented thought when considered in its entirety. In addition, approaching to the controversial debates on 'ecology' (such as tension of subject, consciousness and nature - tension of anthropocentrism and environment-centeredness - tension of capitalism, technology and property) from a different perspective, it is aimed to reveal the possibilities for the solution (such as aletheic and poetic approach, linguistic-intellectual approach).
