From Mimesis to Metaphor: Reconciling Nature and Humanity in the Age of Climate Crisis
Om de klimaatcrisis het hoofd te bieden, kan een bepaalde nederigheid van de mens ten aanzien van de natuur van groot belang zijn. Tegelijkertijd kan nederigheid ook politieke overheersing in de hand werken. Hoe kunnen mensen zich op een bescheidener manier tot de natuur verhouden zonder hun vrijheid…
