Filosofe Lisa Doeland daagt uit tot kritisch denken over de illusie van recycling en groene groei. Een verhelderend perspectief op onze ecologische crisis en hoe we ermee kunnen omgaan. 'Doeland maakt vakkundig gehakt van onrealistische ideeën.' – NRC 'Het boek Apocalypsofie staat vol prachtige metaforen en intrigerende provocaties.' – De Standaard 'Lisa Doeland schrijft neer wat we weten maar nauwelijks durven uitspreken.' – Paul Verhaeghe Leven gaat onvermijdelijk gepaard met verlies, met verval en met afval – wie leeft maakt vuile handen en laat een ecologische voetafdruk achter. Toch dromen we liever van recycling zonder restjes binnen een circulaire economie, van een wereld waarin alles zich laat opruimen en oplossen. Lisa Doeland confronteert ons met het illusoire karakter van deze ‘Groene droom’. Apocalypsofie stelt niet gerust, maar biedt wel handvatten voor leven in tijden van uitsterving. Waar het op aankomt, is jezelf steeds de vraag stellen hoe je dat zo goed mogelijk kunt doen. Filosoferen is leren om te sterven, stelden onder andere Socrates en Montaigne. In tijden van ecologische catastrofe moeten we echter niet alleen met onze sterfelijkheid om leren gaan, maar ook met onze ‘uitsterfelijkheid’. Hoe kan de filosofie ons leren om uit te sterven? ‘Wat als er niemand meer over is om überhaupt nog de vraag te stellen naar het goede, het ware, en het schone?’

Wat gebeurt er als de toestand van de wereld echt tot je doordringt? Als je je volledig bewust bent van de immense dreigingen van klimaatverandering en ecologische destructie? Hoe kan je dan nog rustig slapen? Wat zeg je tegen je (klein)kinderen? Wie roep je ter verantwoording?00In 'Schokeffecten' laat Wouter Kusters zien hoe hijzelf reageerde toen hij besefte hoe diep we in de problemen zitten. Hij analyseert mogelijke reacties van shock, paniek en angst tot berusting, vertrouwen en zelfs optimisme. Hoe kunnen we uit het verblindende licht van de dreigende ondergang ontsnappen, zonder dat we onze ogen ervoor sluiten? Hoe houden we ons geestelijk staande? Wat kunnen en moeten we denken? Is er nog wel filosofie mogelijk?00Uiteindelijk biedt Kusters perspectief. De eerste alarmschok leidt tot duurzaam alarmisme, en blinde paniek wordt filosofische paniek. Het is tijd voor verantwoordelijkheid.00Wouter Kusters is filosoof, taalwetenschapper en schrijver. Zijn debuutboek 'Pure waanzin' werd bekroond met de Van Helsdingenprijs en de Socrates Wisselbeker. Tien jaar later won hij opnieuw de Socrates Wisselbeker met 'Filosofie van de waanzin', dat ook internationaal veel succes heeft met vertalingen naar het Engels, Chinees en Arabisch.

This book focuses on environmental justice in African philosophy, highlighting important new perspectives which will be of significance to researchers with an interest in environmental ethics both within Africa and beyond. Drawing on African social and ethical conceptions of existence, the book makes suggestions for how to derive environmental justice from African philosophies such as communitarian ethics, relational ethics, unhu/ubuntu ethics, ecofeminist ethics and intergenerational ethics. Specifically, the book emphasises the ways in which African philosophies of existence seek to involve everyone in environmental policy and planning and to equitably distribute both environmental benefits (such as natural resources) and environmental burdens (such as pollution and the location of mining, industrial or dumping sites). This extends to fair distribution between global South and global North, rich and poor, urban and rural populations, men and women and adults and children. These principles of humaneness, relationships, equality, interconnectedness and teleologically oriented existence among all beings are important not only to African environmental justice but also to the environmental justice movement globally. The book will interest researchers and students working in the fields of environmental ethics, African philosophy and political philosophy in general.

Five Frenchmen go off to war, two of them leaving behind a certain young woman who longs for their return. But the main character in 1914 is the Great War itself. Jean Echenoz, the multi–award–winning French literary magician whose work has been compared to Joseph Conrad and Lawrence Sterne, has brought that deathtrap back to life, leading us gently from a balmy summer day deep into the insatiable—and still unthinkable—carnage of trench warfare. With the delicacy of a miniaturist and with irony both witty and clear–eyed, the author offers us an intimate epic with the atmosphere of a classic movie: in the panorama of a clear blue sky, a biplane spirals suddenly into the ground; a tardy piece of shrapnel shears the top off a man’s head as if it were a soft–boiled egg; we dawdle dreamily in a spring–scented clearing with a lonely shell–shocked soldier strolling innocently to a firing squad ready to shoot him for desertion. But ultimately, the grace notes of humanity in 1914 rise above the terrors of war in this beautifully crafted tale that Echenoz tells with discretion, precision, and love.

In the Nineteenth-century, English textile workers responded to the introduction of new technologies on the factory floor by smashing them to bits. For years the Luddites roamed the English countryside, practicing drills and manoeuvres that they would later deploy on unsuspecting machines. The movement has been derided by scholars as a backwards-looking and ultimately ineffectual effort to stem the march of history; for Gavin Mueller, the movement gets at the heart of the antagonistic relationship between all workers, including us today, and the so-called progressive gains secured by new technologies. The luddites weren't primitive and they are still a force, however unconsciously, in the workplaces of the twenty-first century world. Breaking Things at Work is an innovative rethinking of labour and machines, leaping from textile mills to algorithms, from existentially threatened knife cutters of rural Germany to surveillance-evading truckers driving across the continental United States. Mueller argues that the future stability and empowerment of working-class movements will depend on subverting these technologies and preventing their spread wherever possible. The task is intimidating, but the seeds of this resistance are already present in the neo-Luddite efforts of hackers, pirates, and dark web users who are challenging surveillance and control, often through older systems of communication technology.

A book about ecology without information dumping, guilt inducing, or preaching to the choir. Don't care about ecology? You think you don't, but you might all the same. Don't read ecology books? This book is for you. Ecology books can be confusing information dumps that are out of date by the time they hit you. Slapping you upside the head to make you feel bad. Grabbing you by the lapels while yelling disturbing facts. Handwringing in agony about “What are we going to do?” This book has none of that. Being Ecological doesn't preach to the eco-choir. It's for you—even, Timothy Morton explains, if you're not in the choir, even if you have no idea what choirs are. You might already be ecological. After establishing the approach of the book (no facts allowed!), Morton draws on Kant and Heidegger to help us understand living in an age of mass extinction caused by global warming. He considers the object of ecological awareness and ecological thinking: the biosphere and its interconnections. He discusses what sorts of actions count as ecological—starting a revolution? going to the garden center to smell the plants? And finally, in “Not a Grand Tour of Ecological Thought,” he explores a variety of current styles of being ecological—a range of overlapping orientations rather than preformatted self-labeling. Caught up in the us-versus-them (or you-versus-everything else) urgency of ecological crisis, Morton suggests, it's easy to forget that you are a symbiotic being entangled with other symbiotic beings. Isn't that being ecological?
