The Inner Climate

Climate change may alter virtually every major human institution. It will transform who we believe ourselves to be and the way we relate with one another. It may even bring about a reconsideration of the meaning of human existence. But while most serious thinking on climate change is scientific and political, these questions are psychological, sociological, ethical, and spiritual. The failure to explore more deeply the inner climate through which climate change is received is a major part of the story of why there has been so little climate action. And yet, leading thinkers in virtually every branch of the social sciences and humanities are beginning to take on climate change. The Inner Climate explores the thoughts of an all-star cast of these often legendary thinkers through dialogue, and in so doing seeks to open up a new series of fronts through which climate change is redressed.
