Recenzje

"This innovative analysis leverages insights from Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Schmitt and Foucault to develop a much-needed ethos for responding to the event of climate change, which is defining the Anthropocene. It is an invaluable study of political subjectivity in these conditions as well as a guide for the ethical transformations required to respond to these challenges." -- Timothy W. Luke, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, USA

"A powerful intervention into the debates on the political philosophy of our climate crisis." -- Joel Wainwright, The Ohio State University, USA
