ABSTRACT

‘Facts remain robust only when … supported by a common culture,’ observes Bruno Latour. Current debates over the veracity of climate change are, in actuality, crises of facts. Questions of facticity have, moreover, precipitated a deeper issue – the prospects of unshared, ‘alternative’ worlds. Climate science believers have one world, climate change deniers another, creating what Latour calls ‘epistemological delirium.’ Following Latour, the paper turns to Pierre Hadot’s description of Stoic physics and understanding of philosophy as spiritual exercise. Finally, taking up both Latour’s claims of ‘alternative worlds’ and Hadot’s notion of spiritual exercise, this paper explores the possibilities of shared practices in light of unshared realities.

摘要

布鲁诺·拉图尔（Bruno Latour）指出：“只有……在一种共同文化的支持下，事实才能保持稳健。” 实际上，当前有关气候变化真实性的辩论是事实的危机。此外，事实性问题引发了一个更深层次的问题，即“共享”“另类”世界的前景。气候科学的信徒拥有一个世界，气候变化的人否认了另一个世界，这造成了拉图尔所谓的“认识论del妄”。继拉图尔（Latour）之后，本文转向皮埃尔·哈多特（Pierre Hadot）对斯多葛物理学的描述以及对作为精神锻炼的哲学的理解。最后，本文同时考虑了拉图尔（Latour）对“替代世界”的主张和哈多（haldot）的精神锻炼概念，根据非共同的现实探索了共同实践的可能性。
