Philosophy for a Time of Crisis: Michel Serres and Climate Change

By Peter Johnson

The book is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the ecological philosophy of Michel Serres. It traces how Serres explores: an inclusive legal contract

that embraces all nature; a collective, common story; the transformative potential of digital technologies; the invention of a global politics; and a philosophy of hope.

The book will appeal to the general reader as well as those with a specific interest in radical proposals for responding to the climate crisis, more-than -human jurisprudence, the rights of nature, indigenous knowledge, ecological philosophy, political ecology and 'digital nature'.

Michel Serres investigated how we have become the world's parasites, taking and giving nothing back. We have broken from the deep alliances of nature. As we battle, as we devour each other and the earth's resources, as we destroy the habitat that we share with all living things, Serres offers a challenging and hopeful way forward.
