Mutual Aid
In the merciless arena of life, we are all subject to the law of the jungle, to ruthless competition and the survival of the fittest – such is the myth that has given rise to a society that has become toxic for our generation and our planet. But today the lines are shifting. A growing number of new movements and thinkers are challenging this skewed view of the world and reviving outdated words like ‘altruism’, ‘cooperation’, ‘kindness’ and ‘solidarity’. Our era is rediscovering with a sense of wonder that this jungle also has a strong scent of mutual aid. A close look at the wide spectrum of living beings reveals that, at all times and all places, animals, plants, micro-org...
How Everything Can Collapse
What if our civilization were to collapse? Not many centuries into the future, but in our own lifetimes? Most people recognize that we face huge challenges today, from climate change and its potentially catastrophic consequences to a plethora of socio-political problems, but we find it hard to face up to the very real possibility that these crises could produce a collapse of our entire civilization. Yet we now have a great deal of evidence to suggest that we are up against growing systemic instabilities that pose a serious threat to the capacity of human populations to maintain themselves in a sustainable environment. In this important book, Pablo Servigne and Raphaël Stevens confront these...
Another End of the World is Possible
The critical situation in which our planet finds itself is no longer in doubt. Some things are already collapsing while others are beginning to do so, increasing the possibility of a global catastrophe that would mean the end of the world as we know it. As individuals, we are faced with a daily deluge of bad news about the worsening situation, preparing ourselves to live with years of deep uncertainty about the future of the planet and the species that inhabit it, including our own. How can we cope? How can we project ourselves beyond the present, think bigger and find ways not just to survive the collapse but to live it? In this book, the sequel to How Everything Can Collapse, the authors s...
SUMMARY - How Everything Can Collapse: A Manual For Our Times By Pablo Servigne And Raphaël Stevens
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will discover from which angle collapsology views current crises. You will also discover : that environmental, social, geopolitical, economic, climatic and energy problems are connected to each other; how energy is at the heart of all problems; how the finance-energy system increases the risk of collapse; how globalization has created complex but very fragile systems; the mechanisms that lead to collapse; how humans perceive the concept of collapse. Humans have entered the era where their actions are changing the Earth system. Many predict the end of industrial societies if humans continue to disrupt these ecosystems. Thus, the debate on collapse is today dominated by two extremes: apocalyptic discourses and those of denial. Collapsology puts the issue of collapse back at the center, by dealing with all aspects of this systemic phenomenon closely linked to humans. Collapse seems inevitable. How to apprehend it? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

A Philosophy of Catastrophes or a Catastrophe of Philosophies
There are many currents in philosophical writings, that deal with today's serious ecological problems and the catastrophes they engender. The aim of this book is to show the diversity of these currents and to judge them on the basis of their ability to provide us with concrete tools for getting out of the ecological impasse in which we find ourselves today, notably the urgency to find new types of ecological and human management. Some of these currents are hopeless: they only offer the prospect of a mental adaptation to these catastrophes, or invite us to leave planet earth and take refuge on other planets. Others, of a cynical bent, openly support the forces that have led to the current sit...
