Lecture 3: Climate and the Human Condition
Lecture

Does the climate crisis speak of a fundamental change in the human condition, as described and analyzed by Hannah Arendt in her book of that name? This lecture closed the series with some reflections on this question and by responding to the work of Bruno Latour and others on the issue of human agency in the so-called epoch of the Anthropocene.
