Reason in a Dark Time

In this thought-provoking book, philosopher Dale Jamieson delves into the complexities of climate change, examining its scientific, historical, economic, and political facets from a philosophical perspective. He discusses the international efforts to combat climate change from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit to the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference, and highlights the failures that have led to increased greenhouse gas emissions and observable global warming. Jamieson argues that these challenges reveal limitations in our cognitive and political capacities and explores how we can find meaning and agency in our responses to this urgent issue.
