Full Description
This book brings together leading thinkers across disciplines to radically rethink what it means to be human in the Anthropocene. As climate crisis, ecological collapse, and planetary transformation destabilize our fundamental assumptions about history, agency, and species-being, distinguished contributors explore the complex entanglements of the biological, geological, and cultural.
From climate fiction and critical phenomenology to indigenous ecological knowledge and the politics of media, the chapters in this volume traverse the boundaries of philosophy, literature, ecology, and historiography to pose essential questions: What new forms of thought, imagination, and responsibility are necessary in an age where humanity has become a geological force? How might we envision futures beyond ecological devastation?
By challenging disciplinary boundaries and dismantling anthropocentric assumptions, this volume provides an urgent and vital roadmap for navigating our precarious present—and imagining possibilities beyond environmental catastrophe. It sits at the intersection of environmental humanities, critical theory, and interdisciplinary studies and speaks to scholars and students in fields ranging from philosophy and literary studies to anthropology, geography, and environmental science. This edited volume offers valuable insights for anyone concerned with the future of humanity and our planet in an age of accelerating ecological change.
