Abstract
This paper presents the acceptance of the word “eco-phenomenology” that is specific to the World Phenomenology Institute, resulting from the research in the phenomenology of life of its founder, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, carried out for over 40 years. Her most conclusive discovery was the ontopoietic logos of life, the productive and ordering force that is at the base of cosmic becoming and that forms human existence, leading them all to their transcendent destination. From the standpoint of the World Phenomenology Institute, ecology can be considered and practiced in its germinal condition that is from the perspective of the self-individualization of life, the basic instrument of ontopoiesis that draws on the cosmic dependencies and constitutes the human mind and human development.
