Future Ethics: Climate Change and Apocalyptic Imagination, edited by Stefan Skrimshire
"How are ideas and beliefs about the future shaping political action on climate change? Future Ethics tackles this question comprehensively for the first time. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, the concepts of apocalypse, crisis and the future are brought to bear on contemporary attitudes and practices. Does the reporting of impending (or passing) tipping points in global warming renew a spirit of resistance or a new fatalism? How is the future of the human species really imagined in society and how does this affect our sense of ethical responsibility to others and to the environment? Can religious or spiritual narratives influence our commitment to the future? This collection of essays from leading thinkers on climate change will be an indispensible guide to the underpinning philosophical questions facing activists, policy makers and students confronting the greatest challenges to our future."
The book is released early summer 2010
