Abstract

La nature a-t-elle des droits ? Alors que les livres de scientifiques consacrés à la crise écologique foisonnent, rares sont les philosophes français qui osent affronter le sujet. Et pourtant, notre conduite vis-à-vis de la nature soulève d’authentiques questions philosophiques : les êtres naturels (les animaux, les plantes, l’eau...) ont-ils des droits ? Et si oui, ces droits renvoient-ils à des espèces ou à des individus ? Pour répondre à ces questions, Stéphane Ferret puise dans la tradition philosophique occidentale, opposant les discours anthropocentrés (le christianisme, le cartésianisme, l’humanisme) à ceux qui soit ne valorisent aucun centre soit en valorisent plusieurs (le spinozisme, le darwinisme). Nourris que nous sommes de ces traditions, quelles sont les armes dont nous disposons pour penser les droits de la nature ? Tout en soulignant les apports récents de la philosophie anglo-saxonne à ce débat, Stéphane Ferret livre une argumentation d’une remarquable clarté.

Abstract

This urgent book brings our cities to the fore in understanding the human input into climate change. The demands we are making on nature by living in cities has reached a crisis point and unless we make significant changes to address it, the prognosis is terminal consumption. Providing a radical new argument that integrates global understandings of making nature and making cities, the authors move beyond current policies of mitigation and adaption and pose the challenge of urban stewardship to tackle the crisis. Their new way of thinking re-orients possibilities for environmental policy and calls for us to reinvent our cities as spaces for activism.

Abstract

Les chantiers de l'histoire environnementale sont aussi nombreux que les enjeux soulevés par la crise écologique contemporaine. Gestion des risques par les sociétés passées, exploitation des ressources naturelles, mutation du regard porté sur l'environnement constituent quelques facettes d'une historiographie désormais mature et foisonnante. Les contributions réunies offrent un panorama international et pluridisciplinaire de cette révolution historiographique, en partant d'un état des lieux inédit dans quelques champs impactés par l'émergence d'une approche environnementale (telles l'histoire des mondes du travail et l'histoire maritime). La réflexion porte ensuite sur l'usage de sources et sur les méthodologies de recherche, en se fondant sur des exemples (comme les cartes) et en retraçant des expériences collectives de travail sur archives. Enfin, quelques études sur les acteurs et objets de l'histoire environnementale illustrent l'apport de l'interdisciplinarité pour interroger nos sociétés contemporaines.

Abstract

"After Capital traces the history of our present to show that the confluence of crises affecting the economy, climate change, resource depletion, the destruction of environments and increasing inequalities is inherent in capitalism. Venn takes the reader from liberalism to neoliberalism to identify private accumulation, dispossessions, subjugations and the model of ceaseless growth at the root of crises. The book proposes postcapitalist societies founded in the politics and ethics of a democratic and ecologiaclly grounded Commons"--Back cover.

Abstract

"Most of us recognize that climate change is real, and yet we do nothing to stop it. What is this psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall's search for the answers brings him face-to-face with Nobel Prize-winning psychologists and the activists of the Texas Tea Party; the world's leading climate scientists and the people who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals. What he discovers is that our values, assumptions, and prejudices can take on lives of their own, gaining authority as they are shared, dividing people in their wake. With engaging stories and drawing on years of his own research, Marshall argues that the answers do not lie in the things that make us different and drive us apart, but rather in what we all share: how our human brains are wired--our evolutionary origins, our perceptions of threats, our cognitive blind spots, our love of storytelling, our fear of death, and our deepest instincts to defend our family and tribe. Once we understand what excites, threatens, and motivates us, we can rethink and reimagine climate change, for it is not an impossible problem. In the end, Don't even think about it is both about climate change and about the qualities that make us human and how we can grow as we deal with the greatest challenge we have ever faced" --Book jacket.
