Philosophy’s Climate Problem: A Primer

To atone for yesterday’s rather frivolous post, I would like today to direct your attention to a piece written by my friend and colleague Daniel Susser, “Philosophy’s Climate Problem: A Primer,” which appeared in the most recent issue of the APA’s “Newsletter on Feminism and Philosophy.” As he opens,

Women and minority philosophers are all too often expected to do the work of explaining the climate problem in philosophy to their colleagues and their students, to host workshops and training sessions, write materials for teaching practicums, and so on. That this labor is rarely recognized as labor is, of course, part of the problem. What follows is meant to ease some of that burden. It is a pedagogical tool—a short, readymade primer. It aims to explain to allies and potential allies of women and minority philosophers what the climate problem in philosophy is, why it matters, and what, in very broad but concrete terms, one can do about it. In the final section, I address a common response to discussions about the climate problem in philosophy offered by those who believe that no such problem exists.

You will find his contribution on page 42 of the PDF you can access here. The Newsletter also contains pieces on safe spaces, diversity issues in the profession, and other subjects of interest.

Additional APA Newsletters explicitly address LGBT issues, medicine, and race. They are available freely online and can be found here.
