Philosophy at the End of the World
Featuring Ben Ware, Elsa Dorlin, Judith Butler, Frédéric Gros, and more.
Radical politics today should not be concerned with merely averting the worst but rather with beginning again at the end. To think about the future in this way is itself a form of liberation that might incubate the necessary radical solutions we need.
Ben Ware's new work, On Extinction: Beginning Again At The End, looks at this concept through a philosophical lens.

On Extinction takes us on a breathtaking philosophical journey through desperate territory. As we face ‘the end of all things’, Ben Ware argues we must face our apocalyptic future without flinching. In fact, extinction is the very lens through which we should examine our current reality.
Combining lessons from Kant, Hegel, Adorno, and Lacan, as well as drawing on popular culture and ecology, Ware recasts the most urgent issue of our times and resolves that we can only consider our collective end by treating it as a starting point.
"A sweeping tour of our crisis present…Ben Ware offers a series of incisive and unforgiving readings that guide and impel us through the wreckage of contemporary capitalism". - Benjamin Noys, author of The Matter of Language
