Open Humanities Press is delighted to announce the latest release from
the Critical Climate Change series: The Philosophical Salon, edited by
Michael Marder and Patricia Vieira.
Available open access here:

Through the interpretative lens of today’s leading thinkers, The
Philosophical Salon illuminates the persistent intellectual queries and
the most disquieting concerns of our actuality. Across its three main
divisions—Speculations, Reflections, and Interventions—the volume
constructs a complex mirror, in which our age might be able to recognize
itself with all its imperfections, shadowy spots, even threatening
abysses and latent promises. On the cutting edge of philosophy,
political and literary theory, and aesthetics, this book courageously
tackles a wide array of topics, including climate change, the role of
technology, reproductive rights, the problem of refugees, the task of
the university, political extremism, embodiment, utopia, food ethics,
and sexual identity. It is an enduring record of an ongoing
conversation, as well as a building block for any attempt to make sense
of our world’s multifaceted realities.
