PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY AND ...

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.
