SUMMARY:Sam Mickey\, "Coexistentialism: Living after the End of the World"
DESCRIPTION:\n\nExistentialism is a renewable resource. What began as a lit
 erary and philosophical movement in the 19th century has undergone a profo
 und transformation in recent years\, as the conditions of habitats and inh
 abitants of Earth have been altered by the rapid growth of industrial soci
 eties. Sam Mickey articulates ways in which the ideas\, attitudes\, styles
 \, and practices associated with existentialism are being renewed in respo
 nse to the historically unprecedented ecological challenges facing humans 
 and all life on Earth. An ecological existentialism or coexistentialism ha
 s emerged in the work of scholars who engage with what remains after the e
 nds of the world\, a sense of ”after” associated with what can be call
 ed “post” discourses\, like postmodernism\, postsecularism\, postcolon
 ialism\, and posthumanism\,. Ecological existentialism seeks ways of exist
 ing after the end of the world. In our current moment of crisis\, we are c
 alled to renew our engagement in questions of freedom\, agency\, anxiety\,
  meaning\, humanity\, life\, and the very nature of existence.\n\nREGISTER
