This seminar addresses the political-philosophical problems underlying the possible introduction of a new periodization category in geology, ‘Anthropocene’, referred to a geological epoch marked by the massive transformation of the earthly system as a consequence of the industrial unfolding of the technical capacities of homo sapiens. The debates on this problematic have reached far beyond specialists’ discussions and raise fundamental questions about the interrelation between humankind and the world, between human agency and geological history as well as between the natural sciences, technology and the humanities.
Lecturers: Pietro Daniel Omodeo (Venice) and Franz Mauelshagen (Potsdam/Duisburg)
Methodology: Seminar discussion based on 2 papers (one per session) by the lecturers, which will be circulated in advance.
