Vorige week een beangstigende Supercel gezien uit mijn raam, gelukkig
viel de hagel niet bij mij door het dak...

Welcome to the Anthropocene | Debate with Peter Sloterdijk & Bernard
Stiegler
Mon June 27, 2016 | De Vereeniging, Nijmegen

We no longer live in the Holocene. Welcome to the Anthropocene! For the
first time in history it is not nature but man that is the biggest
geological force.
Since the industrial revolution earth has entered new territory. By
digging up and using large amounts of oil and coals, among others,
technology has taken flight. But this has brought us more than progress
alone. While climate change persists and plastic waste is accumulating,
the consequences for our planet are only now beginning to dawn on us.

What does it mean to live in the Anthropocene? What will this man-made
geological era bring us? What problems will we face and how will we
solve them?
These questions will be discussed by two great thinkers: Peter
Sloterdijk and Bernard Stiegler. What is their diagnosis of our current
anthropological condition?

Philosopher Lisa Doeland chairs the debate
