Description
The climate and ecological emergency poses significant moral challenges to citizens of the Global North. As individuals become increasingly estranged from both external nature and their own finite physical being, they are confronted with a world of growing ecological and social chaos. This book explores how we can find strength in embracing the truth and engaging with the challenge posed by this emergency. It examines the role of catastrophism, tragedy, grief, hope, love, and vitality in personal and political engagement, and critiques growth-oriented notions of wellbeing. From a psychological perspective, the book argues that something akin to paradise is found in the ordinary and everyday surroundings that surround us.
