11Affordances: on Luminous Abodes and Ecological ReasonResearch in Phenomenology 54 (1): 13-30. 2024.This is an essay on place in light of the ecological crisis as an exercise in what Pierre Charbonnier has recently called ecological reason, that is, “the environmental reflexivity of our species.” How do the roots of our prevailing political and economic relationships to the many lands that sustain us appear retroactively from the perspective of ecological reason?
