Denna artikel är den andra i en serie om två artiklar som introducerar astrobiologins filosofi. Detta är ett förhållandevis nytt och i Sverige nästan okänt forskningsfält som dock befinner sig i snabb tillväxt internationellt. Ämnet presenteras här i form av exempel på några centrala frågeställningar inom området. I den här artikeln presenteras några frågeställningar hemmahörande i praktisk filosof

Jellyfish from outer space appear in pop culture, scientific experiments and climate art, where they function as an expression of the tentacular and thus act as a key metaphor for ecological thinking and environmental responsibility. The tentacular is inextricably linked to the aesthetics of both the deep sea and outer space. It is a reflection on humanity's entanglement with nature and a symbol of pressing climate issues that permeate every aspect of our lives. The jellyfish from outer space concept and trope raises questions about the idea of leaving a planet ravaged by humans to its own devices, and about the planet as something beautiful to be protected. Precisely because jellyfish are, in a sense, formless creatures, they are transitory figures that can liquefy an established nature-human relationship and transform it into something new. Space-themed jellyfish are fluid figures of thought in art and pop culture that transfer moral questions of climate justice and climate awareness to new environments and solidify complex theories through their concrete reference to sensual forms of life.

The project “A Plurality of Lives” was funded and hosted by the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies at Lund University, Sweden. The aim of the project was to better understand how a second origin of life, either in the form of a discovery of extraterrestrial life, life developed in a laboratory, or machines equipped with abilities previously only ascribed to living beings, will change how we understand and relate to life. Because of the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the project aim, the project took an interdisciplinary approach with a research group made up of 12 senior researchers representing 12 different disciplines. The project resulted in a joint volume, an international symposium, several new projects, and a network of researchers in the field, all continuing to communicate about and advance the aim of the project.

The Anthropocene is an era that owes much of its self-understanding to data obtained from space. It is also a period in which fantasies of escaping from Earth to space are proliferating. This article examines one of these fantasies-- the astropastoral dream that imagines that by going out to space we can somehow return to an idealized rural state--an ideology that we argue is contributing to keeping our society unsustainable by offering false hope for a post-planetary and more importantly post-ecological future. Yet as the article also points out, other versions of astropastoral, in particular those forms of astropastoral writing which integrate but also modify practices drawn from nature writing, can prompt us to take into consideration already threatened outer space ecosystems and can likewise contribute to helping us understand more clearly the nature, and the limits, of environmental awareness in the Anthropocene.
