Globalna wspólnota losu w kosmopolocenie, czyli jak za pomocą niskoemisyjnych narzędzi myślenia zbudować nowy zdrowy rozsądek zdekarbonizowanego społeczeństwa

Review of Ewa Bińczyk's book “Uspołecznienie Antropocenu. Ekowerwa i ekologizowanie ekonomii” [PL]

Abstract

The article reviews Ewa Bińczyk's important work Uspołecznienie Antropocenu. Ekowerwa i ekologizowanie ekonomii (Socialising the Anthropocene. Ecovegetation and the Greening of the Economy), published 2023 in the leading humanities series “Politics in Culture” by the Nicolaus Copernicus University Publishing House in Toruń. I summarise the basic findings of the book, I point out the richness of the interpreted theories and the original interpretation of the contemporary ecological economy and degrowth theories. I emphasize its relevance as a compelling prescription for how the humanities and social sciences can be effectively engaged in the debate on climate catastrophe and ways to reverse the social devastation of the world. The book under review argues that today, as never before, we need a humanities that wants to change the world, is well versed in the contemporary world, and is at once expert and pop-cultural.
