Copson Andrew: How to be a Happy Human

How to be a Happy Human

Seven humanist rules for life

Written in an engaging style for undergraduate students and general readers, Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics: An Introduction is a new kind of primer to the study of moral problems and the natural world. It takes as its starting point the increasing awareness among researchers, activists, and others that the key ethical issues related to the use of the environment are questions of justice. It then provides a framework for systematically understanding environmental justice, exploring sustainable development, consumption, the distribution of natural resources, environmental racism, ecofeminism, and the anti-toxic movement, among other issues. The book reaches beyond the usual concerns of moral theory to engage with environmental issues where most readers find them on the ground. The result is a new kind of introduction to environmental ethics-foregrounding the importance of environmental justice and engaging students by illuminating those topics they find the most compelling, important, and relevant to their daily lives. Included in the text are teaching tools, like short descriptions of longer arguments discussed elsewhere, tips for detecting problematic reasoning, questions at the end of each chapter, and a bibliography of prominent and useful literature. A Companion Website provides links to key documents, important interviews, and videos that illuminate key parts of the book

A New Introduction

Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics

Climate change-possibly the most pressing and difficult problem facing life on earth today-raises a series of questions that are fundamentally philosophical in nature. Some are: --Is skeptcism about climate change warranted? --Why does scientific consensus about global warming matter? --Who should pay-those who are causing the most damage or those who will bear the greatest burden-to mitigate the effects of climate change? Scientists and policy makers who grapple with these questions need the insights and contexts a philosophical analysis offers. And students and researchers in philosophy need to better know the scientific literature and political issues before offering ethical and philosophical commentary. With formal graduate training in the study of atmospheric science, a Ph.D. in philosophy, and a publication and teaching record that bridges the two areas, Wendy Parker adroitly addresses these and similar questions in, Understanding Climate Change: Science, Philosophy, and Policy. The book brings together a body of scattered research on these issues, but also breaks new ground, providing for a wide range of students and researchers a firmer footing on which to understand fully the scientific and policy issues related to climate change. The book is the first of its kind: a synoptic and coherent account-written for students and scholars in the humanities and the sciences--of the most salient philosophical issues related to our changing global climate.

Futures Theory

What are the most radical transformations on the horizon of our world? Shining a light on the many possibilities of the future from multiple astonishing perspectives, this book explores how new ages are imagined in our century. Bringing together over 20 prominent thinkers from a variety of disciplines, it examines the potential dimensions of the future and how they will affect everything from our culture to our politics, from our bodies to our minds. As future eras remain cloaked in relative obscurity, they compel the invention of new techniques for navigating those realms of visionary speculation. With deeply immersive entries on captivating phenomena occurring across all regions of our global reality, this book brings novel theoretical interpretations of transpiring events and the great ciphers they reveal. This includes hidden questions surrounding artificial intelligence, virtual reality, mass migration, speed, climate, geo-engineering, automation, and many more. Moreover, this book skilfully tethers inexhaustible abstract concepts like the infinite and the illusory to the emergence of new knowledge systems that allow analysis of the unknown, ultimately offering insight on the rarest features of futurity. Filled with original impressions from experts in the domains of literature, philosophy, visual art, architecture, design, media studies, ecology, anthropology, and more, Futures Theory contemplates the new variables that will expand and distort such fields in irreversibly compelling ways, opening up discussion of the steps toward a new atmosphere for thought itself in the epochs to come.
