Dipesh Chakrabarty (Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor, Department of History, The University of Chicago)
“Why A New Philosophical Anthropology?”
4:00 p.m. Thursday, September 21, 2023 — Smathers Library 100
Starting from the arguments presented in Dipesh Chakrabarty’s recent books The Climate of History in a Planetary Age (2021) and One Planet, Many Worlds: The Climate Parallax (2023), this talk will seek to explain why making a distinction between the globe and the planet as humanist categories calls for a new philosophical anthropology.
