Gernot Böhme (born 3 January 1937, in Dessau) is a German philosopher and author, contributing to the philosophy of science, theory of time, aesthetics, ethics, and philosophical anthropology. He is the main pioneer of German ecocriticism, the study of the relationship between culture and the environment.

Despite being one of Germany's most acclaimed public intellectuals, very little of his work has so far been translated into English. German
