Fueled by the perception of acquiring unprecedented powers through technologies that entangle the human and the natural worlds, human beings have become agents of a new kind of transformative event. The ongoing sixth mass extinction of species, the prospect of a technological singularity, and the potential crossing of planetary boundaries are expected to trigger transformations on a planetary scale that we deem catastrophic and try to avoid. In making sense of these prospects, Simon’s book sketches the rise of a new epochal thinking, introduces the epochal event as an emerging category of a renewed historical thought, and makes the case for the necessity of bringing together the work of the human and the natural sciences in developing knowledge of a more-than-human world.. | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Anthropocene; Human History; Artificial Intelligence; historical theory; evolution; gradual Earth history | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-47805-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-47807-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-47805-6Series ISSN 2730-972X Series E-ISSN 2730-9738 | issn_series | 2730-972X | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
