Publication details: New York : Springer 2018 Description: 220 p. : il. ; 25 cmISBN: 9781493974184Subject(s): Cambio climático | Crecimiento de la poblaciónSummary: Current worldwide trends are not sustainable. The Club of Rome’s warnings published in the book Limits to Growth are still valid. Remedies that are acceptable for the great majority tend to make things worse. We seem to be in a philosophical crisis. Pope Francis says it clearly: our common home is in deadly danger. Analyzing the philosophical crisis, the book comes to the conclusion that the world may need a “new enlightenment”; one that is not based solely on doctrine, but instead addresses a balance between humans and nature, as well as a balance between markets and the state, and the short versus long term.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
