Human Hubris, Anthropogenic Climate Change, and an Environmental Ethic of Humility

This new article in Organization & Environment is about how hubris, individually and collectively, has contributed to the climate emergency, and how an environmental ethic of humility could play an ameliorating role in the crisis. It argues that a collective “human hubris” (“The Problem”) has contributed significantly to anthropogenic climate change and that a “humility-based approach” toward the environment that entails an appreciation of humanity’s proper place in the natural order (“A Solution”).
