Next session of the Society-Nature Forum organised by Jed Kaplan and Joëlle Salomon Cavin
What is the "Anthropocene" ? The concept of a geologic epoch in which human activities have an influence on the Earth that is larger than any other force of nature has been hotly debated since the introduction of the term more than 15 years ago. Each of us, from philosophers to geochemists, may have a different opinion on whether or not the anthropocene exists, when it may have begun, and even on the overall utility of the concept. Our collective "perspectives on the Anthropocene" are the subject of this Society-Nature Forum.
