The challenges we face are enormous. But we can still secure a positive future for our planet, and for everyone on it.
In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill persuasively argues for longtermism, the idea that positively influencing the distant future is a moral priority of our time. It isn’t enough to mitigate climate change or avert the next pandemic. We can ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; cultivate value pluralism; and prepare for a planet where the most sophisticated beings are digital and not human.
'Unapologetically optimistic and bracingly realistic, this is the most inspiring book on ‘ethical living’ I’ve ever read.' Oliver Burkeman, Guardian
‘A monumental event.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind
‘A book of great daring, clarity, insight and imagination. To be simultaneously so realistic and so optimistic, and always so damn readable… well that is a miracle for which he should be greatly applauded.’ Stephen Fry

Zustand: Aceptable. : En 'What We Owe the Future', el filósofo William MacAskill presenta un argumento persuasivo a favor del 'longtermismo', la idea de que influir positivamente en el futuro distante es una prioridad moral de nuestro tiempo. No basta con revertir el cambio climático o evitar la próxima pandemia. Debemos asegurarnos de que la civilización se recupere si se derrumba, contrarrestar el fin del progreso moral y prepararnos para un planeta donde los seres más inteligentes sean digitales, no humanos. El libro explora por qué deberíamos organizar nuestros planes para incluir el bienestar de las personas en las próximas décadas o incluso siglos, y cómo deberíamos llevar a cabo ese tipo de planificación.
