Climate breakdown and the destruction of the living earth is the issue by which our children will judge us. Rupert Read's unflinchingly honest account is vital reading for those who want their philosophy to deal with reality and their climate concern to be more than a displacement activity.Read argues that an acceptance of the actual horror of the crisis, and making space for and listening to climate -grief and -anxiety, gives us the opportuni...

Rupert Read is a determined and responsible campaigner for a better country and a better world."-- George MonbiotThat our ecological future appears grave can no longer come as any surprise.

Inspired by the philosophy of Wittgenstein and his idea that the purpose of real philosophical thinking is not to discover something new, but to show in a strikingly different light what is already there, this book provides philosophical readings of a number of `arthouse¿ and Hollywood films.

Die industrielle Zivilisation hat keine Zukunft. Sie basiert grundsätzlich auf unbegrenztem Wachstum - auf einem begrenzten Planeten. Die unverminderte, rücksichtslose Verbrennung von fossilen Rohstoffen heizt das Klima weiter an. Durch kleinteilige Reformen und technologische Innovationen, wie sie gegenwärtig auf der politischen Agenda stehen, wird sich das Problem aber nicht in den Griff bekommen lassen. Eher früher als später wird - so die ...

Industrial civilisation has no future. It requires limitless economic growth on a finite planet. The reckless combustion of fossil fuels means that Earth's climate is changing disastrously, in ways that cannot be resolved by piecemeal reform or technological innovation. Sooner rather than later this global capitalist system will come to an end, destroyed by its own ecological contradictions. Unless humanity does something beautiful and unprece...

Addresses differing views on how to understand early Wittgenstein, providing an arena in which the debate between 'strong' resolutists, 'weak' resolutists and 'elucidatory' readers of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus can really take place.

A novel and significant contribution to social science methodology and the philosophy of science and 'the human sciences', this book is of...

A Wittgensteinian Way with Paradoxes examines how some of the classic philosophical paradoxes that have so puzzled philosophers over the centuries can be dissolved. Read argues that paradoxes such as the Sorites, Russell's Paradox and the paradoxes of time travel do not, in fact, need to be solved. Rather, using a resolute Wittgensteinian 'therapeutic' method, the book explores how virtually all apparent philosophical paradoxes can be diagnose...

This is the first book to fully document the most influential contemporary readings of Hume's work. This revised paperback edition includes three new chapters.

Over fifteen years have passed since Cora Diamond and James Conant turned Wittgenstein scholarship upside down with the program of resolute reading, and ten years since this reading was crystallized in the major collection The New Wittgenstein. This approach remains at the center of the debate about Wittgenstein and his philosophy, and this book draws together the latest thinking of the world 's leading Tractatarian scholars and promising newc...
