Read The Earthly Community by philosopher Achille Mbembe and join philosopher Cees Leijenhorst and moderator Noortje Schonck in a discussion about the book and the question of how we can live together harmoniously in times of existential crisis.
The Earth as Community
The climate is changing, but our behavior is changing only minimally. Digital developments such as AI and social media are disruptive. And inequality between people continues to increase. In his book Earth as Community, Cameroonian philosopher Achille Mbembe argues for a fundamental rethinking of our place within the global ecosystem. Read the book and join philosophers Cees Leijenhorst and Noortje Schonck in a discussion about how we can transition to a way of thinking that recognizes the earth as a shared space and as the foundation for a common future.
