Deborah Danowski is a professor of philosophy and coordinator of the Philosophy and the Environmental Question research line at PUC-Rio. Her work centers on modern philosophy, with a particular focus on Leibniz and Hume, exploring themes of metaphysics and ecological thought. She delves into fundamental questions of human existence and our relationship with the natural world. Her approach offers readers a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of these seemingly disparate fields of thought.
The end of the world is a seemingly interminable topic D at least, of course, until it happens. Environmental catastrophe and planetary apocalypse are subjects of enduring fascination and, as ethnographic studies show, human cultures have approached them in very different ways.
