The scale of some environmental problems, such as climate change and human overpopulation, exceed any one nation state and require either co-ordinated governance or a shift in the culture of modernity. This title examines this crisis alongside Heidegger's ideas about technology and modernity.

Offers a comprehensive survey of Heidegger's ideas on technology and modernity. This book integrates environment into philosophy and political theory, offering a constructive critique of modernity with some helpful suggestions for establishing a readiness for blue sky scenarios for the future.
