- Jay Bernstein - Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at The New School for Social Research - presents "The Death of Nature: Critical Theory in the Age of the Anthropocene"
Introduction by Ann Laura Stoler, Willy Brandt Distinguished University Professor of Anthropology and Historical Studies at The New School for Social Research
The Dialectic of Enlightenment opens with these sentences: “Enlightenment…has always aimed at liberating human beings from fear and installing them as masters. Yet the wholly enlightened earth is radiant with triumphant calamity.” Written in 1944, the idea that Enlightenment had become calamity could be taken as literal. Today “triumphant calamity” is literal once more: human induced climate change has led from the civilization-supporting ecological harmonies of the Holocene to the growing devastations - floods, heatwaves, droughts, fires, storms, ocean acidification, increasing species extinction, ecocide produced ecological collapse - of the Anthropocene. Adorno’s Critical Theory and Ecofeminism offer deeply analogous genealogies and diagnoses of this time of slow-moving ecological disaster.

Very good
Great
The fate of the human species literally hangs in the balance with respect to how we heed the message of this talk.
I want to know who I am. Please help.
Just the sum of your particular natural condition plus your particular position in society (and history and so on) plus what you do with it while you are still alive.
That is pretty much what you are.
and "who" you are, naturally.
