Thinking Nature

An Essay in Negative Ecology

By: McGrath Sean J. McGrath

Moving between ancient and modern sources, philosophy and theology, and science and popular culture, Sean McGrath offers a genuinely new reflection on what it means to be human in an era of climate change, mass extinction and geoengineering. Engaging with contemporary thinkers in eco-criticism, including Timothy Morton, Bruno Latour and Slavoj Zizek, McGrath argues for a distinctive role for the human being in the universe: the human being is nature come to full consciousness. McGrath's compelling case for a new Anthropocenic humanism is founded on a reverence for nature, a humanism that is not at the expense of nature, and a naturalism that is not at the expense of the human.

Political Eschatology

By: Sean J. McGrath

Nothing is more distressing to the modern person than the experience of an unsurpassable limit of the calculable. Nothing disturbs us more deeply than incalculable time, unpredictable time—the time of the advent of the unpredictably new. In a series of interventions into contemporary political crises, McGrath reactualizes the early Christian sense of eschatology as the experience of a time that runs out rather than moves forward. In contemporary politics, economy, ecology, and technology, much that was familiar for most of the twentieth century—the intra-generational transmission of religious values, progressive economic growth, a stable global climate, and predictable movements of peoples and nonhuman species across the planet—is ending calamitously. Endtime, however, is not only the time of endings; it is also the time of unforeseeable beginnings.

This is an interpretive study of Heidegger's complex relationship to the medieval tradition. The text examines how the enthusiastic defender of the Aristotelian-Scholastic tradition became the great destroyer of metaphysical theology.
