In the Spring 2021 semester, I am teaching Social and Political Philosophy and Modern Philosophy. I will use geoengineering with a focus on carbon capture as a topic to explore the philosophical problems and questions raised in these courses. Call it a case study in modern social and political philosophy. I plan on roughly one lecture per week.
1. Introduction to Carbon Dioxide Removal
