Das klimaethische Selbst als Subjektivierungsform

In this article, the moralization tendencies in the context of the climate change problem are investigated in a theoretical-normative discourse from the perspective of applied ethics. The aim is to approach the expressions of morality and moralization from a climate ethical and responsibility theoretical perspective. The increasing, normatively demanding moralization in everyday discourse towards an individual acting responsibly for the climate is bound to the discourses and arguments of climate ethics. These must be explained and examined in order to fathom the claims of »climate morality« as a self-topic. This article focuses on the ideal type of subjectivation of the climatic ethical self, in order to outline a theoretical foundation of this specifically normative form of subjectivation as a subject of discussion and starting point for further moral psychological research and transdisciplinary discourses.
