P resent challenges and potential futures; principles for a pact on coexistence; proposals for living and thinking the Anthropocene in Chile: the core sections of the Manifesto speak to the present with the hope of activating futures other than those that, on current course, are the inevitable destination. How not to get there? How “to invent new possible futures”? The Manifesto offers a basis for a wider dialogue on what it means to address the meteorological crisis that has geological effects and results from “colonialism, capitalism, and a consumption-oriented society.” It is a provocation to a dialogue that has been overwhelmed by the field of earth sciences. What do the social sciences, humanities, and arts bring to the conversation? The scholars who have composed this manifesto, from many disciplines, are agreed that “discourses on ‘sustainability’ and ‘ecology’ are not able to respond to the scale of the challenge.” This is a welcome starting point given that climate adaptation and mitigation discourses tend to be overwhelmed by faith in the arranged marriage of a social science of sustainability with a natural science of ecology. The Manifesto offers an alternative to the marriage of social and natural science: “a treaty to redefine the way we live together, all of us, animals, vegetables, minerals, and microorganisms on Earth. . . . The Anthropocene invites us to problematize the epic narrative of autonomy, recognizing with humility that our existence is a precarious ecological achievement.” At the same time, multiple modes of living and thinking that precarious achievement generate a diversity of “knowledges, identities, and doings.” Therefore, actions and interventions need to be situated “in and with the communities,

关于人类世宣言的评论

当前的挑战和潜在的未来；并存公约的原则；智利人类世界的生活和思考建议：宣言的核心部分与现在进行了交流，希望能够激活目前看来是不可避免的目的地以外的其他期货。怎么不去那里？如何“发明新的可能的未来”？宣言为解决具有地质效应和“殖民主义，资本主义和消费导向型社会”产生的气象危机的含义提供了广泛对话的基础。这是地球科学领域不堪重负的对话的挑衅。社会科学，人文科学和艺术给对话带来了什么？撰写此宣言的学者来自许多学科，人们一致认为，“关于'可持续性'和'生态'的论述无法应对挑战的规模。” 这是一个令人欢迎的起点，因为人们对将可持续发展的社会科学与自然生态学有机结合在一起的信念，往往使气候适应和减缓的论述变得不知所措。宣言为社会科学与自然科学的结合提供了另一种选择：“一项条约，重新定义了我们所有人，我们所有人，动物，蔬菜，矿物质和地球上微生物的共同生活方式。。。。人类世邀请我们质疑关于自治的史诗叙述，谦卑地承认我们的存在是不稳定的生态成就。” 同时，不稳定的成就的多种生活和思考方式产生了各种各样的“知识，身份和行为”。
