Can a catastrophe be an isolated occurrence? Is there such a thing as a "natural" catastrophe since all our technologies (nuclear energy, power supply, water supply, and more) are necessarily implicated? The author examines the nature of catastrophes in the era of globalization and technology.
In an era of catastrophes natural and man-made, a great French philosopher ponders human responsibility. Exclusive to this English edition are two interviews with the author.
