| Contents Notes |
The ultimate absurdity -- Hiroshima as pollution -- Apocalyptic twins : nuclear and climate threats -- Different mental struggles : nuclear and climate truths -- Malignant normality -- Witnessing professionals -- Climate swerve 1 : from experience to ethics -- Climate swerve 2 : awareness and adaptation. Over his long career as witness to an extreme twentieth century, National Book Award winning psychiatrist, historian, and public intellectual Robert Jay Lifton has grappled with the profound effects of nuclear war, terrorism, and genocide. Now he shifts to climate change, which, Lifton writes, "presents us with what may be the most demanding and unique psychological task ever required of humankind," what he describes as the task of mobilizing our imaginative resources toward climate sanity. |
