Planetary Philosophy is philosophy remade as a material practice that apprehends the planet. It thinks with many cultures, many beings and many things. I like to call it the yet to awaken third eye of cybernetics. Shiva would approve, I hope.
How the word moved
I named it in Nov 2025 in the fourth PAPE essay, as philosophy whose subject widens to a multitude. In Feb 2026 it became the core discipline of the third age of systems theory, with three expansions: to cultures, to beings and to things.
In my words
"Planetary philosophy is the yet to awaken third eye of cybernetics."
from The Planetarity Syllabus. Governing the Planet, Part 3: The Planetary Steward, 26 Feb 2026
