The philosophy of extinction (or of the end of the world)| Philosopher Ben Ware
Manage episode 450969369 series 1259856
Philosophy at the end of the world
Is humanity looking at its demise in the face? Has it always been? And how can philosophy help us?
Join philosopher Ben Ware, Co-Director of the Centre for Philosophy and Art at King’s College London, as he interrogates how to philosophically, and humanly, confront the end of the world. Ware traces the idea of extinction across many authors - philosophers, writers and the scientists who influenced them - to chart a path to his own ideas of how we can cope with the possibility of the End, of extinction. Without defeatism or denial or excitement, but with strength and possibility.
