Event Description

The discussion will consider what a “New Enlightenment” might mean in the Anthropocene. As biodiversity declines, the speakers will examine emerging forms of interdependence among humans, animals, and plants, drawing on historical examples of ecological co-adaptation. Speakers will explore how a renewed sense of responsibility toward “the other” could inform public policy and how civic engagement can transform ecological ideals into practical action.
