Reasoning Well in the Anthropocene: Philosophical Insights on Climate Change
Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference
April 14-16, 2016
We are living in the Anthropocene. Human activity is now the dominant influence on the Earth’s ecological and climatic systems. We are only now beginning to understand the extent and character of that influence. Climate change is among the greatest challenges facing humanity as a whole, and at the close of the century, we will be judged by how we deal with it. Given the stakes, it is reasonable to ask how to best reason about the challenge – morally, politically, and scientifically. This is the theme of the 19th Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference (INPC).
The INPC is a conference that draws upon the work of philosophers (and scholars outside of philosophy) from around the world to deal with issues surrounding a central theme. The 19th INPC will be jointly hosted by the University of Idaho and Washington State University, and will be held in the scenic Moscow-Pullman area (14-16 Apr 2016). This year’s theme is global climate change.
