One is that the onrushing climate catastrophe renders the modern liberal value of personal autonomy unintelligible as a concept to live by. Originally, that was the only point I planned to argue for: I would then conclude that because Kant never once predicates autonomy of individuals, selves, or persons, Kant\u2019s practical philosophy is immune to this difficulty and offers a better approach to climate ethics and justice. But &#8211; here is the second point &#8211; it then struck me how this conclusion only follows if you already accept Kant\u2019s practical philosophy. If instead you think it mere empty formalism, well, rising sea levels won\u2019t make it less so. This got me trying to think about how normative disorientation arising from the unintelligibility of ethical concepts can trap us in a particularly dire reflective predicament. I\u2019ll try to outline this predicament, and say something about how we might get out of it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: Edgecliffe G03 Title: Climate Change as a Philosophical Problem Commentator: Qu\u00e2n Nguyen (Edinburgh) Abstract: The paper this talk belongs to speaks to two main points.
