Written both for general readers and college students, Dialogues on
Climate Justice provides an engaging philosophical introduction to
climate justice, and should be of interest to anyone wanting to
think seriously about the climate crisis. The story follows the
life and conversations of Hope, a fictional protagonist whose life
is shaped by a terrifyingly real problem: climate change. From the
election of Donald Trump in 2016 until the 2060s, the book
documents Hope's discussions with a diverse cast of characters. As
she ages, her conversations move from establishing the nature of
the problem, to engaging with climate skepticism, to exploring her
own climate responsibilities, through managing contentious
international negotiations, to considering big technological fixes,
and finally, as an older woman, to reflecting with her
granddaughter on what one generation owes another. Following a
philosophical tradition established by Plato more than two thousand
years ago, these dialogues are not only philosophically substantive
and carefully argued, but also distinctly human. The differing
perspectives on display mirror those involved in real-world climate
dialogues going on today. Key Features: Written in an engaging
dialogue form, which includes characterization, clear exchanges of
ideas, and a compelling story arc Clearly organized to allow
readers both in-depth consideration and rapid overviews of various
topics Memorable examples that enable and encourage discussion
inside and outside the classroom An Introduction to the book aimed
at instructors, which includes helpful instructions for teaching
the book and engaging student assignments
