A new philosophical field has emerged. “Existential risk” studies any real or hypothetical human extinction event in the near or distant future. This movement examines catastrophes ranging from runaway global warming to nuclear warfare to malevolent artificial intelligence, deploying a curious mix of utilitarian ethics, statistical risk analysis, and, controversially, a transhuman advocacy that would aim to supersede almost all extinction scenarios. The proponents of existential risk thinking, led by Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom, have seen their work gain immense popularity, attracting endorsement from Bill Gates and Elon Musk, millions of dollars, and millions of views. Calamity Theory is the first book to examine the rise of this thinking and its failures to acknowledge the ways some communities and lifeways are more at risk than others and what it implies about human extinction.Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.Forerunners: Ideas First DisastersHuman beingsExtinctionRisk assessmentHistory of philosophy, philosophical traditionsDisasters.Human beingsExtinction.Risk assessment.904Schuster Joshua1159989Woods DerekMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910552759403321Calamity Theory2803860UNINA04349nas 2201345-a 450 991030174180332120240413025241.02419-8706(CKB)991042725285404(CONSER)---74640327-(EXLCZ)9999104272528540420780517a19739999 -a- bfretxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDonnées socialesParis Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques1 online resourcePrint version: Données sociales. 0758-6531 (DLC) 74640327 (OCoLC)3903976 Collections de l'INSEE.Collections de l'INSEE.Série M.0533-0823Société francaiseLabor supplyFrancePeriodicalsCost and standard of livingFrancePeriodicalsMarché du travailFrancePériodiquesCoût et niveau de la vieFrancePériodiquessocial lifeeurovocendemographyeurovocenemployment policyeurovocenhouseholdeurovocenfamilyeurovocenurbanisationeurovocenhealth policyeurovoceneducation policyeurovocencultureeurovocenelectioneurovocenpoliticseurovocenpenaltyeurovocenstatisticseurovocenFranceeurovocenvie socialeeurovocfrdémographieeurovocfrpolitique de l'emploieurovocfrménageeurovocfrfamilleeurovocfrurbanisationeurovocfrpolitique de la santéeurovocfrpolitique de l'éducationeurovocfrcultureeurovocfrélectioneurovocfrpolitiqueeurovocfrsanction pénaleeurovocfrstatistiqueeurovocfrFranceeurovocfrCost and standard of livingfast(OCoLC)fst00880673Labor supplyfast(OCoLC)fst00990165Social conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01919811Sociale situatiegttSOCIAL CONDITIONSunbistECONOMIC CONDITIONSunbistSTATISTICAL DATAunbistFRANCEunbistFranceSocial conditionsPeriodicalsFranceSocial conditions1945-1995PeriodicalsFranceConditions sociales1945-PériodiquesFranceConditions socialesPériodiquesFrancefasthttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJd8gD4vdtqQMdQHvYqbBPPeriodicals.fastLabor supplyCost and standard of livingMarché du travailCoût et niveau de la viesocial life.demography.employment policy.household.family.urbanisation.health policy.education policy.culture.election.politics.penalty.statistics.France.vie sociale.démographie.politique de l'emploi.ménage.famille.urbanisation.politique de la santé.politique de l'éducation.culture.élection.politique.sanction pénale.statistique.France.Cost and standard of living.Labor supply.Social conditionsSociale situatie.SOCIAL CONDITIONS.ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.STATISTICAL DATA.FRANCE.Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (France)JOURNAL9910301741803321exl_impl conversionDonnées sociales2439983UNINA
