Towards a Fifth Ontology for the Anthropocene
This paper argues that the conditions of the Anthropocene render the four ontologies described by Philippe Descola obsolete, and begins the search for a fifth ontology that speaks to the meaning of the arrival of the new epoch. The radically new dispensation destabilises all prior understandings of the human, of nature and of the relationship between the two. Before progress is possible, the Anthropocene must be correctly understood. The concept …
Climate Change
Greenhouse gases emitted anywhere affect people everywhere, and they will do so for a very long time. Progress on an international response to climate change has been bedeviled by ethical, political, and economic fractures, highlighting the severe limitations of the Westphalian state system. Non-state actors have played a crucial role in negotiations; some are “internationalist,” whereas others are “globalist.” Climate change is inseparable from …

The Anthropocene as rupture
I argue that Earth System science - a recent paradigm shift in the earth and life sciences (Hamilton C and Grinevald J (2015) Was the Anthropocene anticipated? The Anthropocene Review 2(1): 59-72) - named the Anthropocene as the very recent rupture in Earth history arising from the impact of human activity on the Earth System as a whole. Many have mistakenly treated the new concept of the Earth System as if it were equivalent to 'the landscape', …
The Anthropocene and the Global Environmental Crisis
The Anthropocene, in which humankind has become a geological force, is a major scientific proposal; but it also means that the conceptions of the natural and social worlds on which sociology, political science, history, law, economics and philosophy rest are called into question. \n \nThe Anthropocene and the Global Environmental Crisis captures some of the radical new thinking prompted by the arrival of the Anthropocene and opens up the social s…

Getting the Anthropocene so wrong
Rather than clarifying it, a recent paper by Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin (2015), 'Defining the Anthropocene', adds to the confusion about the new epoch. The paper does not recognise that a paradigm shift has occurred, one in which environmental science has been displaced by Earth System science. The story tells of an Anthropocene beginning in 1610. It is not credible, as it is not based on an accurate understanding of the Earth System. In additio…
Was the Anthropocene anticipated
Various authors have identified 'precursors' of the new concept of the Anthropocene, with most frequent reference made to Antonio Stoppani, Vladimir Vernadsky and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. The effect, intended or otherwise, of finding forerunners is to deflate the significance of the proposed new geological epoch. We argue there were no precursors to the notion of the Anthropocene, and that there could not have been because the concept (put for…
Moral Collapse in a Warming World
In his definitive book A Perfect Moral Storm , ethicist Stephen Gardiner argues that the way forward in a climate-changed world is so difficult in part because we “do not yet have a good understanding of many of the ethical issues at stake in global-warming policy.” We remain confused about such vital questions as who should take responsibility for the current condition, how to preserve equity between generations, and how best to think about our …
Requiem pour l'espèce humaine
Le monde est en train de basculer dans un avenir hostile. Notre obstination à tirer profit de la planète au-delà des limites supportables par son écosystème a déclenché des effets indirects si dramatiques que la crise climatique menace désormais notre existence. Nous avons nié cette réalité. Nous avons ignoré ou accueilli avec lassitude les signaux d’alarme des climatologues, refusé de remettre en cause le dogme de la croissance et l’obsession co…

Rethinking adaptation for a 4 ° C world
With weakening prospects of prompt mitigation, it is increasingly likely that the world will experience 4 ° C and more of global warming. In such a world, adaptation decisions that have long lead times or that have implications playing out over many decades become more uncertain and complex. Adapting to global warming of 4 ° C cannot be seen as a mere extrapolation of adaptation to 2 ° C; it will be a more substantial, continuous and transformati…
Requiem for a Species
This book does not set out once more to raise the alarm to encourage us to take radical measures to head off climate chaos. There have been any number of books and reports in recent years explaining just how dire the future looks and how little time we have left to act. This book is about why we have ignored those warnings, and why it is now too late. It is a book about the frailties of the human species as expressed in both the institutions we b…
Building on Kyoto
A critical assessment of George Monbiot’s scheme for a 90 per cent cut in carbon emissions. Given the psychological grip of capitalist consumption patterns, and the forces blocking attempts to tackle climate change—fossil fuel lobby, heavy industry, airlines—what is the best strategy for environmental action? Can ambitious targets and moral exhortations bring any improvement on existing treaties

The Commonwealth and sea-level rise
According to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), some Commonwealth developing countries face severe threats from climate change and none more so than small island states and low-lying areas of larger countries. While industrialized countries are responsible for the greenhouse gas emissions that are transforming the world's climate, the impacts of climate change will be most severe in poor countries

Ideology and Oral Traditions
From the time of the translation into English of Jan Vansina's Oral Tradition in 1965, the use of oral traditions as historical sources has become an increasingly technical exercise. Historians of the non-literate societies of Africa in particular have been alterted to, among others, such things as “floating gaps” and “hour-glass effects” in traditions, elongated and collapsed genealogies, the peculiarities and fallibility of human memory, the ov…

Class, State and Industrialisation in South Korea
An explanation of how private industrial capital became the driving force of society is central to an understanding of South Korean industrialisation. This process had two main phases: the transformation of landed assets into merchant capital in the 1950s and of commercial into industrial capital in the 1960s. The state has played a fundamental role in structuring changes in class relations at each stage. RESUMEN Clases, estado e industrializació…
