The unknown is what is.  And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that.  Unknown is what is.  Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing.    John Lennon

Session 1: Modernity Meets the Anthropocene—The End of Nature?
Our historical situation and why modernity cannot solve the problems modernity has created. The pervasive influence of humans on nature. Interpretations of the Anthropocene by scientists and various writers.
 
Session 2: The Ecological Social Contract—From Economics and Individualism to Ecology and Communitarianism
Theories of the social contract in the Enlightenment, those of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau. The consumptive social contract of modernity. The nature of the world—not a collection of isolated objects, but a communion of subjects. From negative freedom to relational freedom. Forming the new ecological social contract.
 
Session 3: Ecocentric Governance—Governance and Earth Law
Governance is more than government. Governance is the overall process of shaping collective agency. Traditional societies, classical civilizations, and the modern nation-states. Competing contemporary forms—liberal democracy, social authoritarianism, and nativist populism. Political economy of consumption. Ecocentrism, Earth law, customary law, and forms and scales of ecological governance.
 
Session 4: Living in Earth Community—A Viable Future
Change in perspective from the near term to the long term. Creating a new philosophical framework for the future. Dealing with human-Earth relations. Helping people deal with increasingly difficult circumstances. Clarifying the best economic and energy options. Fostering a vision of a humane and decent future.
