After Fukushima: The Equivalence Of Catastrophes

In this book, the philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy examines the nature of catastrophes in the era of globalization and technology. 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, etc.) are necessarily implicated? Nancy examines these questions and more. Exclusive to this English edition are two interviews with Nancy conducted by Danielle Cohen-Levinas and Yuji Nishiyama and Yotetsu Tonaki. 9780823263387 082326338X 64 BOOK Philosophy NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=n_hJyQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
