El clima de la historia en una época planetaria

The advent of the Athropocene has not only put humanity and the climate in check, but also the categories that we have used up to now to account for our situation and the place we occupy on the planet. The human, which until now had centered all forms of thought, suddenly finds itself imbricated in an endless number of planetary processes that displace and transform it, while the limited chronology of human affairs is dwarfed by the magnitude of time. biological and even geological, which affects and infects history by introducing unexpected mutations. If we are to survive the challenges posed by the climate crisis, we must learn to find our way in a world that, as Dipesh Chakrabarty tells us, has moved beyond "global" to "planetary". From the fragile but irreplaceable basis provided by this finding, "The climate of history in a planetary age" proposes a roadmap to rethink the human condition in the face of ecological and social devastation that threatens to crack our lives.
