Future Ethics: Climate Change, Political Action and the Future of the Human

Manchester, 2008-09


The Future Ethics workshops explored the impact of 'apocalyptic' predictions of climate chaos on different forms of political action: how knowledge of the future becomes the basis for action in the present.  

Workshop 1: 'What is to be done?'  Apocalyptic Rhetoric and Political Action - June 2008

Workshop 2: 'What price security?'  New Issues in the Ethics of Risk - September 2009

Workshop 3: 'A world without us?' Imagining the End of the Human - January 2009

More work from the Future Ethics project was published as  Future Ethics: Climate Change and Apocalyptic Imagination (ed. Stefan Skrimshire, Continuum, 2010), featuring essays by Frederick Buell, Mike Hulme, Mark Levene, Stephen M. Gardiner, Christopher Groves, Sarah S. Amsler, Roman Krznaric, Andrew Bowman, Richard Mcneill Douglas, Stefan Skrimshire, Celia Deane-Drummond, and Peter Manley Scott.
