Climate change and the humanities: historical, philosophical and interdisciplinary approaches to the contemporary environmental crisis

The humanities have historically played an important role in the various debates on environment, climate and society.

The past two decades especially have seen a resurfacing of these environmental concerns across humanities disciplines in the wake of what has been termed climate change.

This book argues that these disciplines should be more confident and vocal in responding to climate change while questioning the way in which the climate change debate is currently being conducted in academic, political and social arenas.
