Abstract

Climate change generates new topics for philosophy. Philosophy, for its part, can contribute important conceptual tools to climate change discussions, as well as shed light on various dimensions of climate change studies – especially the underlying assumptions of the natural and social sciences of climate change. This Handbook provides a wide-ranging overview of the outcomes of this encounter between climate change and philosophical reflection. It consists of five parts, for a total of 63 chapters covering topics in and for the natural and social sciences, the humanities, and the ethics and political philosophy of climate change.
