Yikes! I am a firm believer in climate change and how man is a part of nature and not separate from nature. But reading this book is sooo laborious. The syntax is way self absorbed. The author seems to be more interested in showing he can write sentences that are over 50 words in length than making a point. It is pure Ambien to read this book. If you are an insomniac... BUY THIS BOOK! You will be asleep inside of three pages once you are past the first 15 pages. The book begins nicely but becomes an incessantly boring read afterwards.
I had read/heard two previous reviews from friends who were not highly favourable of the book. So I approached my reading with some scepticism.Not for long. I loved it and found it hard to put my Kindle away.I really appreciated the philosophical-intellectual approach that Clive Hamilton took.But most important to me was the key message of the book: humans are the culprits. We have to mend our ways, adapt, change dramatically to live with the anthropocentrically altered earth systems. Clive Hamilton reminded the reader to take responsibility. That word is music to my ears. Whether it is on a personal level, community level or environmental/planetary level, responsibility appears to be a word that has given way to 'rights'. We have to recover it and place it before 'rights' - in my view.On the downside (but the downside does not detract from my rating): the message could have been delivered in some fewer pages, but then that applies to most books. The message needs to be delivered to the young. So a simplified version of the book for older children and youth may be in the order. Finally, the planet's greatest problem: human overpopulation was not spelt out, although indirectly the message was present by the mere fact that humans are the culprits.
While at times repetitive, the message bears repeating, again and again. It is a compelling account of the impact of the Anthropocene, the geologically new world we have both created and entered. It is a world that will not serve humans well. This book has disturbed me in a way deeper that I thought would happen. Not all the chapters will be relevant for everyone, and it does tackle various academic controversies that will mainly concern social science and humanities scholars, but its main thrust is important. I wish it wasn't ... but we now have no choice to live on an increasingly defiant planet.
An exciting and clear survey of the philosophy of humanity's role in the universe, leading to Hamilton reclaiming hope from the current trajectory of failure of human beings to take responsibility for saving the Earth from the rapidly approaching climate change inferno."What is this being who has changed the course of the Earth itself?" Hamilton asks at one point, and a consideration of possible answers to this question might be seen as the core strand of the book. Hamilton provides an exciting overview of the history of human thought on such matters, culminating in responses which have been elicited by the Anthropocene rupture in the Earth System.Hamilton comes to his own, desperately hopeful, answer: a being who has the power to disrupt a world, but not to master it; capable of coming to a working relationship with the Earth which recognises our power and our vulnerability.
I started reading Defiant Earth under sufferance but kept finding things to strongly agree with to the point that I should leave my mostly stylistic quibbles to the penultimate. Clive Hamilton is a well known provocateur from the progressive side of politics, a player in literary machinations and academia. He also has a nose for a problem and identifies the nomination of the Anthropocene as the geological epoch commencing in 1945 as a good focus for facing the intellectual and practical challenges of climate change and other vectors of industrial-scale planetary degradation.Hamilton starts out explaining what the Anthropocene is, what an officially identified geological epoch is, and why it is appropriate that the Anthropocene has been recently confirmed. As epochs are typically measured in tens of millions of years, it may be questionable as to whether any geologists in the distant future would identify the Holocene (currently) Epoch as more than another Pleistocene interglacial, but we are left in little doubt that the geological mark of technologically and industrially empowered humans on the planet since WW2 is indelible. He is also quick to deflate the ecomodernist contention that the capacity to damage on this scale suggests a capacity to similarly repair, accurately identifying that that idea carries with it the same oversimplifying assumptions that are digging us deeper into the mess, the idea that we can build planetary systems which improve on nature's still largely uncharted riches.His next step insists that as humans have made the problem, it is humans who have to fix it, but without fanciful assumptions about technological bandaids at industrial scale. He sees this as a new anthropocentrism, an argument in a different space to the increasing evidence that reduces the long assumed gap between humans and others, more in line with my long held view of humans as means not ends. Interestingly, Hamilton draws significantly on Melbourne's adopted postmodernist Bruno Latour in his efforts to insert his arguments into literary, scholastic and ultimately theological traditions. Hopefully this will enlarge the audience for his arguments as leaving it to administrators, politicians, engineers and scientists has not yet got us very far. No matter what disquiet some of those inclusions might have brought me, all was forgiven very rapidly in the final chapter where he showed in quick succession that he has gained a good handle on complexity and emergence and the rich local variability of the natural world; that he similarly recognised the cosmological responsibility of the human project as being the only known attempt to codify knowledge of the universe; and that the road ahead is uncertain, rocky and needing to be tackled regardless.While he uses "humankind" and "human project" appropriately, my nagging annoyance was that he conflated those with special status and responsibility of all human individuals as the direct beneficiaries of the Enlightenment. My aforementioned view of humans as means is sufficient justification for protection, nurturing and autonomy of individuals without more massaging of irresponsible egos. Is it a price he needs to pay to placate those who provide his licence to pontificate, or is it an inability to see through problems closer to home? Regardless, it is just an annoyance and does not reduce the importance of Hamilton's core message which might almost be revolutionary enough if anyone is really listening. But humans have co-opted far more other species of animal and more so of plant into economic relationships than any other naturally co-dependent cluster and it will be significantly dependent on many not yet co-opted to deliver the regenerative response to the Anthropocene described in Charles Massy's Call of the Reed Warbler: A New Agriculture - A New Earth so implying the Enlightenment separates individual humans from life's web may not be helpful.Defiant Earth should be read and thoroughly digested by all who are more comfortable with the world of words mediating their lived experience. We are already every Baby Boomer's lifetime into the Anthropocene and planetary systems aren't co-operating with the neoliberal agenda, that struggle only getting more uncomfortable as some humans fail to place any limits on their own demands for comfort while vast numbers of the still increasing human population get to enjoy at least some basic comforts, however briefly.
