Ethics for a Broken World by Tim Mulgan
Imagine living in the future in a world already damaged by humankind, a world where resources are insufficient to meet everyone's basic needs. This title imagines how the future might judge us and how living in a time of global environmental degradation might reshape the politics and ethics of the future.
"A bold, creative, provocative, ingenious and important book that will be of tremendous interest to students and teachers of ethical, political and environmental philosophy" - John Seery, Pomona College, California "An excellent and hugely innovative introduction to political philosophy. By asking readers to imagine what our political philosophy might look like to members of a broken future, the book challenges many assumptions about resources and future generations that are implicit yet central to much contemporary political philosophy. The book offers a truly unique perspective, and will be a great benefit to students and teachers.A" - Jonathan Quong, University of Manchester "Mulgan offers a vivid way to bring out the con tingency and context-dependence of our present way of thinking." - The Cambridge Humanities Review "A proclaimed break with the profound anthropocentrism of philosophy of the modern age - opens the thought of what philosophy and ethics might become if it were to create a genealogy of the future." - Year's Work in Critical Cultural Theory 2013
