Philosophers for Future
Philosophers for Future
For some months now, high-school students around the world have staged the “Fridays-for-Future” strikes and demonstrations. They protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis. In April 2019 a large group of scientists has formed a “Scientists-for-Future” movement; it aims to support the students’ demands with scientific data and theories.
We the undersigned feel that there is every reason to add a range of philosophical voices to this swelling chorus of protest. Amongst many other things, we philosophers could contribute:
- reflections on social and environmental justice;
- ethical inquiries into the human-animal relationship;
- studies of how scientists (e.g. in climate-related subjects) experiment, model, and argue for their conclusions;
- investigations into the ideological functioning of science-skepticism;
- proposals for new forms of participatory democracy, especially when it comes to climate issues;
- philosophical-historical or intercultural perspectives on the intellectual roots of our exploitative relationship with the environment;
- and much else.
We will make every effort to bring the climate crisis into our curricula, seminar rooms and lecture halls, and to support philosophical work on climate-related topics.
This petition is also meant to help find colleagues willing to set up a more sophisticated website, and to help (or take over) the planning of "Philosophers for Future" activities.
