Sci-Phi: Science Fiction as Philosophy

Snowpiercer and Climate Change (1x20)

Data di messa in onda: Gen 01, 2018

Open this lecture with a look at how and why we get scientific information from experts (or don't) and why what we should conclude about climate change is as much of a philosophical issue as it is a scientific one. Then, through the film Snowpiercer, take a look at how a lukewarm approach to pressing issues can create narratives of false security and cast doubt on real dangers that will have consequences for the fate of humanity.
