Description
What We Owe the Future: A Million-year View by William MacAskill
Philosopher William MacAskill argues that positively influencing the distant future is a moral priority of our time. He makes the case for longtermism, a philosophy that seeks to ensure the survival and prosperity of human civilization, even in the face of significant challenges such as climate change and technological disruption.
MacAskill's vision is both optimistic and realistic, and he presents a compelling argument for why we should prioritize the well-being of future generations. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the ethics of living in a rapidly changing world.
