Philosophy for an Ending World

Beschreibung

Tim Mulgan introduces a new thought experiment, which takes the form of a challenging possible future: the world will end in two hundred years, and humanity faces unavoidable but not immediate extinction. He presents imaginary discussions, within this slowly ending world, of such topics as the meaning of life and the purpose of the universe.
