ABSTRACT

Some proponents of the Anthropocene argue that it is time adopt a future-oriented outlook: natural baselines no longer matter, and humans should remake the planet for the better. This raises questions about whose vision should guide such remaking, and whether the past deserves any consideration in adapting for the future. I argue that the past remains relevant, because the natural, cultural, and social worlds people enter into – shaped by those who came before us – matter. On this view, there are reasons to value ‘nature’, even in a human-altered world, and climate adaptation should take that into account.

伦理、适应和人类世

摘要

一些人类世的支持者认为,现在是采用面向未来的观点的时候了:自然基线不再重要,人类应该让地球变得更好。这就提出了一个问题,即谁的愿景应该指导这种改造,以及在适应未来时过去是否值得考虑。我认为过去仍然相关,因为人们进入的自然、文化和社会世界——由我们之前的人塑造——很重要。根据这种观点,即使在人类改变的世界中,也有理由重视“自然”,气候适应应考虑到这一点。
