Yıl 2024, Cilt: 5 Sayı: 3, 107 - 127, 31.07.2024

Öz

Bu araştırma, Ralph Waldo Emerson'un Transandantalist felsefesinin Birleşmiş Milletler'in Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri (SDG'ler) gibi modern sürdürülebilirlik ölçütleri üzerindeki etkisini inceliyor. Doğayla manevi ve etik bir ilişkiyi savunan aşkıncılığın ve Emerson'un inançlarının bir taslağını sunar. Çalışma, doğayla birlik, kendine güven ve ahlaki yükümlülük gibi transandantalist kavramları Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri'nin çevresel ve iklim eylem hedefleriyle karşılaştırıyor. Aşkıncı inançların, sürdürülebilir kalkınmada daha sonraki çevresel ve sosyal sorumluluk ideallerinin temelini oluşturduğuna inanmaktadır. Makale doğanın ruhsal önemini ve aşkın bir doğal evrende var olan ilahi gerçeği vurgulamaktadır. Kendine güvenme, bağlantı kurma ve çevreye değer verme gibi transandantalist fikirlerin, modern küresel sürdürülebilirlik girişimleri için nasıl felsefi emsal teşkil ettiğini araştırıyor. Bu araştırmanın amacı aşkın felsefe ile Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri'nin uygulanması arasındaki olası sinerjiyi vurgulamak ve insanlığın hem kendine hem de dünyaya karşı görevi konusunda daha büyük bir farkındalık yaratmaktır.

This research looks at the effect of Ralph Waldo Emerson's Transcendentalist philosophy on modern sustainability metrics like the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides an outline of transcendentalism and Emerson's beliefs, which advocate a spiritual and ethical relationship with nature. The study compares transcendentalist concepts such as oneness with nature, self-reliance, and moral obligation to the SDGs' environmental and climate action goals. It believes that transcendentalist beliefs laid the groundwork for later ideals of environmental and social responsibility in sustainable development. The paper emphasizes the spiritual significance of nature and the divine truth inherent in a transcending natural universe. It investigates how transcendentalist ideas of self-reliance, connection, and appreciation for environment serve as philosophical precedents for modern global sustainability initiatives. The goal of this research is to highlight the possible synergy between transcendentalist philosophy and the implementation of SDGs, creating a greater awareness of humanity's duty toward both the self and the world.
