Planetary Politics
Description
We need a new planetary vision that is able to reclaim and liberate our world, starting today and engaging each of us. This is the task of philosophy as much as it is of politics, of theory as it is of activism. Connecting with a new generation taking to the streets across the globe, this book tells the story of the ever-closer union of our world, from the age of empire to the climate crisis, and presents a plea and a roadmap to step beyond the mental and material boundaries of our nations. Table of contents:
Introduction
The twilight of universal Europe
The human zoo
The last ideology
Before the revolution
All under heaven
A glimpse into a politics for the planet
Notes
"In an age of planetary-scale existential crises spearheaded by the cul-de-sac of financialised globalisation, Lorenzo Marsili's focus on the need for a renewed internationalism is vital and urgent."
—Yanis Varoufakis
Lorenzo Marsili is a philosopher-activist and the cofounder of the transnational NGO European Alternatives. His work crosses theory, politics and contemporary arts.
