Description
After the Apocalypse explores the concept of apocalypse in terms of 'revelation', rather than as the end itself. Srećko Horvat argues that preventing extinction requires engaging with interconnected threats such as climate crisis, nuclear age and pandemic.
The book outlines a philosophical approach to deal with 'eschatological tipping points', which are no longer just individual crises but their collision with other major threats. This includes the viruses of capitalism and fascism. Horvat examines the future of places affected by these crises, including Chernobyl, the Mediterranean and the Marshall Islands.
The result is a simple yet urgent message: our only alternatives today are a radical reinvention of the world or mass extinction. After the Apocalypse is an appeal to mourn tomorrow's dead today and struggle for our future while we can.
