(Co)Inhabiting the Earth Differently: Modernity Meets the Ecological Emergency
Channel: Green European Foundation
Date: 2021-10-06

Moderated by Charlotte Luyckx, with Catherine Larrère, Jean De Munck, and Arturo Escobar. 

Is it fair to say that our universalist, rational and mechanical way of seeing the world has caused our current ecological disasters? Are our notions of development or progress directly implicated in these crises? Shouldn’t the nature-culture, male-female, North-South, ignorant-knowledgeable divides be overcome? 
Through the eyes of various speakers, we explore how the relationship to the world that we inherited from the Enlightenment needs to be questioned, given the many connections and beings that have been made invisible.
