Collapse Vol. VI: Geo/Philosophy

Collapse #6

by Robin Mackay (Editor), Charles Avery (Contributor), Manabrata Guha (Contributor)

Following Collapse V's inquiry into the legacy of Copernicus' deposing of Earth from its central position in the cosmos, Collapse VI: Geo/philosophy poses the question: Is there nevertheless an enduring bond between philosophical thought and its terrestrial support, or conversely, is philosophy's task to escape the planetary horizon?

Collapse VI brings together philosophers, theorists, eco-critics, leading scientific experts in climate change, and artists whose work interrogates the link between philosophical thought, geography and cartography, in order to create a portrait of the present state of 'planetary thought'.

Not what mainstream (what Americans understand as) left would co- sign, but still interesting to me
