This book develops a politico-ethical response to climate change that accounts for the novelty and uncertainty that it entails. It analyzes the ethical dimensions of climate change in terms of four features: commitment, worldly sensitivity, political disposition, and practice, and shows how social habits and norms can be transformed through subjective thought and behavior in the context of a global environmental crisis.

This book develops a comprehensive politico-ethical response to climate change, accounting for its unprecedented novelty and uncertainty. It explores the ethical dimensions of climate change and posits that it must be viewed as a social construction intricately linked to political issues to effectively understand and address this environmental challenge. To demonstrate how this ethos builds upon the need for new forms of responsiveness, Anfinson analyzes it through four key features: commitment, worldly sensitivity, political disposition, and practice. Each of these features is developed by engaging in a dialogue between four thinkers: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Schmitt, and Foucault, respectively, and the literature on climate change. By doing so, this book showcases how subjective thought and behavior can transform social habits and norms within the context of a global environmental crisis.

This multidisciplinary engagement with the politics, philosophy, and science of climate change makes it an invaluable resource for students and scholars in the fields of climate change, environmental politics, environmental philosophy, and environmental humanities. It offers a deep understanding of the complex ethical and political dimensions of this pressing issue, providing insights into the potential for transformative change and the urgent need for collective action.
