Thinking through climate changea philosophy of energy in the anthropocene /[electronic resource] :by Adam Briggle. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xvii, 265 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Palgrave studies in the future of humanity and its successors. - Palgrave studies in the future of humanity and its successors..

In this creative exploration of climate change and the big questions confronting our high-energy civilization, Adam Briggle connects the history of philosophy with current events to shed light on the Anthropocene (the age of humanity) Briggle offers a framework to help us understand the many perspectives and policies on climate change. He does so through the idea that energy is a paradox: changing sameness. From this perennial philosophical mystery, he argues that a high-energy civilization is bound to create more and more paradoxes. These paradoxes run like fissures through our orthodox picture of energy as the capacity to do work and control fate. Climate change is the accumulation of these fissures and the question is whether we can sustain technoscientific control and economic growth. It may be that our world is about change radically, imploring us to start thinking heterodox thoughts.
