Canned Heat cover

This insightful volume, Canned Heat, explores the ethics and politics of climate change, offering diverse perspectives on sustainable development and justice.

In Canned Heat, the author delves into the multifaceted issue of global climate change, presenting it as one of the most pressing challenges of our time. The book examines the intricate interplay of ethics and politics surrounding climate change, offering theoretical perspectives that illuminate the complexities involved. Through a diverse array of sub-themes, the text addresses critical topics such as global governance, democracy, justice, responsibility, and sustainable development, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand.

Throughout Canned Heat, various lenses are employed to analyze climate change, including politics, law, ethics, philosophy, religion, and even contemporary art and culture. This interdisciplinary approach allows for a richer exploration of the subject, as the essays within the volume delve into alternatives for sustainable development while also shedding light on often-overlooked issues. Topics like climate change refugees and food justice are thoughtfully discussed, emphasizing the urgent need for equitable solutions in the face of environmental challenges.

The essays not only engage with theoretical frameworks but also encourage readers to consider practical implications and actions that can be taken to address climate change. By combining rigorous analysis with accessible writing, Canned Heat serves as both an academic resource and a call to action for individuals and policymakers alike, urging a collective response to a crisis that affects us all.

"This wide-ranging and engaging collection probes a number of the important political, ethical, and cultural dimensions of climate change, shining a helpful light on the maladies it finds and providing numerous provocative hints of the treatments required. [A]n important read at a critical time."

-Christopher Preston, Department of Philosophy, University of Montana

"This is a fine collection, which carefully delineates many of the major approaches to the ethics, politics and philosophy of global climate change. With fourteen substantive chapters, Di Paola and Pellegrino’s collection, Canned Heat, provides a useful overview for both the layperson and the scholar; viewing climate change from a multitude of perspectives, including that of the refugee, the democratic government, even the Buddhist philosopher."

-Philip Kirby, University of Exeter
