Coined barely two decades ago, the Anthropocene has become one of
the most influential and controversial terms in environmental
policy. Yet it remains an ambivalent and contested formulation,
giving rise to a multitude of unexpected, and often uncomfortable,
conversations. This book traces in detail a broad variety of such
'Anthropocene encounters': in science, philosophy and literary
fiction. It asks what it means to 'think green' in a time when
nature no longer offers a stable backdrop to political analysis. Do
familiar political categories and concepts, such as democracy,
justice, power and time, hold when confronted with a world
radically transformed by humans? The book responds by inviting more
radical political thought, plural forms of engagement, and extended
ethical commitments, making it a fascinating and timely volume for
graduate students and researchers working in earth system
governance, environmental politics and studies of the Anthropocene.
This is one of a series of publications associated with the Earth
System Governance Project. For more publications, see
