Jorge Riechmann

Jorge Riechmann, a professor of moral philosophy at the Autonomous University of Madrid, writes poems and essays. He has dedicated a considerable effort to try to understand the different dimensions of social ecology since the mid-1980s. He directed the Observatory of Sustainability in Spain in its constitutional phase, and he tried to develop something like a worker ecology with the First of May Foundation and the Institute of Labor, Environment, and Health between 1996 and 2008. Since 2013, he has coordinated the Transdisciplinary Research Group on Socioecological Transitions. He is the author of various collections of essays about questions of political ecology, environmental ethics, and ecological thought. He has published his reflections on ecological ethics in Eticas extramuros.
