This book provides an accessible overview of the societal relevance
of contemporary geosciences. Engaging various disciplines from
humanities and social sciences, the book offers philosophical,
cultural, economic, and geoscientific insights into how to
contextualise geosciences in the node of Culture and Nature. The
authors introduce two perspectives of societal geosciences, both
informed by the lens of geoethics. Throughout the text core themes
are explored; human agency, the integrity of place, geo-centricity,
economy and climate justice, subjective sense-making and
spirituality, nationalism, participatory empowerment and leadership
in times of anthropogenic global change. The book concludes with a
discussion on culture, education, or philosophy of science as
aggregating concepts of seemingly disjunct narratives.The diverse
intellectual homes of the authors offer a rich resource in terms of
how they perceive human agency within the Earth system. Two
geoscientific perspectives and fourteen narratives from various
cultural, social and political viewpoints contextualise geosciences
in the World(s) of the Anthropocene.
