| Abstract
|
:
|
Imagine living in the future in a world already damaged by humankind, a world where resources are insufficient to meet everyone~%#~146;s basic needs and where a chaotic climate makes life precarious. Then imagine looking back into the past, back to our own time and assessing the ethics of the early twenty-first century. Ethics for a Broken World imagines how the future might judge us and how living in a time of global environmental degradation might utterly reshape the politics and ethics of the future. The book is presented as a series of ~%#~147;history of philosophy lectures~%#~148; given in the future, studying the classic texts from a past age of affluence, our own time. The central ethical questions of our time are shown to look very different from the perspective of a ruined world. The aim of Ethics for a Broken World is to look at our present with the benefit of hindsight ~%#~150; to reimagine contemporary philosophy in an historical context ~%#~150; and to highlight the contingency of our own moral and political ideals.
