Description

Explore the history and evolution of human extinction through this academic study from Routledge. This volume traces the origins of the idea of annihilation from the ancient Presocratics to contemporary discussions on existential risks. As many leading intellectuals suggest the risk of extinction this century could be higher than at any point in our 300,000-year history, this book provides essential insight into the key questions informing the debate. Readers will learn when humans first began to worry about their own survival and how these philosophical debates have changed over time. Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, this work establishes a new theoretical foundation for thinking about the ethics of our extinction. It is an essential resource for those studying the philosophy of science and the history of human thought regarding global risk.
