On what comes after human rights.
Juliano Fiori, essayist and director of
Alameda Institute, joins us to talk about catastrophism and organising around "the end". We discuss:
-
What was humanitarianism, and why was it the "last utopia"?
-
What does humanitarianism look like in an era of multipolarity?
-
Does Western liberal democracy have any gas left in it? What should we defend?
-
What politics are generated by the prevailing sense of anxiety and melancholia?
-
If modernity is over, do we need to reject all progressivism?
-
And how do we orient around catastrophe without falling into the trap of emergency politics?
