According to recent accounts, we experience the emotion of “being moved” when a situation brings into play our core values. What are the core values evoked by nonhuman landscapes, however, particularly as the distinction between man-made and natural environments becomes increasingly blurry in the so-called Anthropocene? That is the central question tackled by this article. I start by rethinking the sublime as an affect that, since Romanticism, has shaped Western attitudes toward nature. I argue that today's climate crisis calls for an expansion of our affective engagement with the nonhuman: the sublime can be part of our emotional repertoire, but only if it is complicated by feelings that point to constitutive human–nonhuman entanglement.

在人类世被自然所感动:论生态崇高的界限
根据最近的说法,当某种情况发挥我们的核心价值观时,我们会体验到“被感动”的情绪。然而,非人类景观所唤起的核心价值是什么,尤其是在所谓的人类世中,人造环境和自然环境之间的区别变得越来越模糊?这是本文要解决的核心问题。我首先重新思考崇高作为一种影响,自浪漫主义以来,这种影响塑造了西方对自然的态度。我认为,今天的气候危机要求我们扩大与非人类的情感接触:崇高可以成为我们情感曲目的一部分,但前提是它被指向构成性的人类与非人类纠缠的感觉复杂化。
