Essays by Peter Wessel Zapffe
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.03MB
Overview: Peter Wessel Zapffe (1899.1990) is widely regarded as Norway's earliest eco-philosopher. He was the first Norwegian thinker to develop a philosophical critique of man's relationship with the environment. Zapffe was not only a philosopher, but also a writer, literary critic, humorist, environmentalist and alpine climber. He grew up in a rather bourgeois environment in Tromso in northern Norway. His father, Fritz Zapffe, was known for being a close friend of polar explorer Roald Amundsen; he helped the latter with rations and other kinds of materials for his expeditions up to the polar areas. Peter Wessel Zapffe's childhood was characterized by tough discipline. From early on this awoke in him a strong aversion against any type of authority.
Zapffe published several collections of essays, in addition to numerous articles in various journals and newspapers. At the age of 87, he published his last book, Hvordan jeg ble sa flink (How I Became So Clever). In the following year, 1987, he received Norway's Fritt Ord (Freedom of Expression) award. The city of Tromso honored him by naming a mountain after him. Zapffe died on the 12th of October, 1990.

I was in the beginning and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am time, the destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space.
