Ecological hospitality

Kearney_hosting earthHosting Earth: Facing the Climate Emergency (Routledge, 2024) is a timely volume in the emerging literature of environmental philosophy. Co-edited by Boston College Charles Seelig Professor of Philosophy Richard Kearney and BC alumni Peter Klapes and Urwa Hameed, the book engages the question of ecological hospitality: What does it mean to be guests of the Earth as well as hosts? While most books on the climate emergency focus on science and politics, the editors say “our volume also invites artists, poets, and philosophers to add new light and depth to this urgent ecological debate.” Hosting Earth features a dialogue with former President of Ireland and climate justice advocate Mary Robinson, drawn from a 2022 conference at Boston College.
