This book explores five past crises, each involving a unique form of collective trauma. These events—war, occupation, exile, scientific revolution and political revolution—inspired the philosophers to remake the whole world in thought, to construct a metaphysics. Williston distills a key intellectual innovation from each metaphysical system:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• That political power must be constrained by knowledge of the climate system (Plato)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• That ethical and political reasoning must be informed by care or love of the ecological whole (Augustine)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• That we must enhance the design of the technosphere (Descartes)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• That we must conceive the Earth as an internally complex system (Spinoza)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• And that we must grant rights to anyone or anything—ultimately the Earth system itself—whose vital interests are threatened by the effects of climate change (Hegel).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilosophy and the Climate Crisis will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental philosophy and ethics and the environmental humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542713491694,"sku":"9780367506803","price":63.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367506803.jpg?v=1720132933","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/philosophy-and-the-climate-crisis","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
