Heidegger, Politics and Climate Change examines this crisis alongside Heidegger's ideas about technology and modernity. Heidegger suggests that refocusing on the primary questions that make it meaningful to be human - the question of Being - could create the means for alternative discourses that both challenge and sidestep the attempt for total surveillance and total control. He advocates recognising the problematic relationship humanity has with the environment and reinventing new trajectories of understanding ourselves and our planet. This book aims to properly integrate environment into philosophy and political theory, offering a constructive critique of modernity with some helpful suggestions for establishing a readiness for blue sky scenarios for the future. The book lays out the practical implications of Heidegger's ideas and engages with philosophy of technology, considering the constraints and the potentials of technology on culture and environment 410 0$aContinuum studies in Continental philosophy. 606 $aOntology 606 $aHuman beings 606 $aEnvironmentalism 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aTechnology 615 0$aOntology. 615 0$aHuman beings. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aTechnology. 676 $a304.201 700 $aIrwin$b Ruth$f1968-$01595055 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816178203321 996 $aHeidegger, politics and climate change$94081045 997 $aUNINA
