Abstract

Being and Time, in the light of contemporary thought—literary, philosophical, anthropological, scientific, and historical—have been drastically transformed by debates trying to reframe the crisis of climate change. It is crucial to factor the challenges into everyday conversations about how to live and what to do with (one’s or its general representation of) time. Amitav Ghosh, Radhika Govindrajan, Karine Gagné, Bruno Latour, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Timothy Lenton, Shubhangi Swarup and Marilyn Nelson provide instances to think differently about the visibility of any change to the human eye and life. What emerges in this process of contemplation is a set of radical ideas and practices to bring about inter-species harmony.
