International cooperation has not been forthcoming and there remains a general reluctance towards any major change of lifestyle. Given the urgency of the problem, why has so little been done? In Climate Ethics Joerg Tremmel and Katherine Robinson identify the reasons behind this crucial paradox and propose a way forward. In the first part of the book the authors provide an accessible account of the basics of climate change. In clear and accessible terms they explain the science behind climate change and demystify the complicated terminology that so often hinders a proper understanding of the subject. They identify the substances that cause climate change, reveal which industries are responsible and which aspects of people's everyday lives have the highest emissions connected with them. They explore the consequences of ignoring climate change and, importantly, analyse the obstacles to addressing the issues. In the second part of the book the authors introduce the concept of climate ethics, and explore its importance at a personal, national and international level. They place it firmly at the centre of any successful resolution of the challenges associated with climate change. They review the classical theories of justice and how they relate to climate change, and they examine the complex ethical and moral questions that need to be addressed if long-term solutions are to be found. What moral responsibility do we have to future generations? How should we share out emission rights? Do we take into account past emissions, allowing those who have historically caused more pollution fewer emissions rights than developing countries? Who is to finance the measures to abate climate? And just what is the fairest approach to the politics of climate change on a global scale? The result is an original and timely engagement with one of the most pressing problems facing us and future generations."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aClimatic changes$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aEnvironmental ethics 606 $aEthics & moral philosophy$2BIC 615 0$aClimatic changes$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aEnvironmental ethics. 615 7$aEthics & moral philosophy. 676 $a179.1 700 $aTremmel$b Jo?rg$f1970-$01000397 702 $aRobinson$b K$g(Katherine), 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511313403321 996 $aClimate ethics$92553256 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03964nam 22005412 450 001 996201344103316 005 20151109030844.0 010 $a1-139-80139-2 010 $a1-139-00285-6 035 $a(CKB)3360000000000133 035 $a(MH)012350787-1 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000456007 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11924137 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000456007 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10405736 035 $a(PQKB)10488960 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781139002851 035 $a(UK-CbPIL)2050501 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000000133 100 $a20110114d2010|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 04$aThe Cambridge companion to allegory /$fedited by Rita Copeland and Peter T.

This Companion will present, lucidly, systematically, and expertly, the various threads that comprise the allegorical tradition over its entire chronological range. Beginning with Greek antiquity, the volume shows how the earliest systems of allegory developed in poetry dealing with philosophy, mystical religion, and hermeneutics. Once the earliest histories and themes of the allegorical tradition have been presented, the volume turns to literary, intellectual, and cultural manifestations of allegory through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The essays in the last section address literary and theoretical approaches to allegory in the modern era, from reactions to allegory in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to reevaluations of its power in the thought of the twentieth century and beyond. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAllegory 615 0$aAllegory. 676 $a809/.915 702 $aCopeland$b Rita 702 $aStruck$b Peter T. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201344103316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to allegory$92493580 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
