In Thinking Like a Mall, Steven Vogel criticizes various trends in environmental philosophy for excluding artifacts from the scope of their interest as metaphysically and ethically insignificant beings. Vogel’s postnatural environmentalism opposes this tendency and calls for revisiting the metaphysical and ethical status of artifacts. The article reconstructs Vogels’s argumentation and indicates main problems which are related to recognizing usable things as metaphysically and ethically inferior.

The article aims to show that one of the most important manifestations of Turn in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger is a change of the ontological status of beings other than human. Transformation of Dasein into Da-sein (which takes place in Heidegger's works written between year 1930 and 1936) is accompanied by the recognition of being of other beings, "things" (concrete individuals, animate and non-animated). While in "Being and Time", other entities are considered "lower" than the man, and unlike him, not "are", but only "are-handy" or "mere-live", "What is a Thing?" (and even already "Introduction to the Metaphysics") indicates the unity of being. This does not mean the rejection of the specificity of the human being as Da-sein. Only thanks to human being – not just his own, but also of other beings – is no longer hidden. The specific nature of man according to Heidegger, however, does not entitle him to dominate other beings and treated as a subordinate. Thus I consider late philosophy of Heidegger as non-anthropocentric.

This article aims to show that formulated by Immanuel Kant distinction between spontaneity and receptivity of perception as two inseparable aspects of it is one of the most important themes in the Heidegger’s reception of Kantian philosophy, since it allows Heidegger to express the principle of circularity of understanding. Martin Heidegger, referring to Kant’s concept of perception, explains that man as there-being (Dasein) is able to see being (Sein) in beings (Seiende) only if one regards them as being (seiende), what one does according to his own being. The analysis of Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics (1929) and the What is a Thing (1935) presented in the article investigates this particular topic.
