Catastrophe Ethics

In 'Catastrophe Ethics,' Travis Rieder tackles the moral philosophy puzzles that arise in a world dominated by massive, structural threats.

He explores vital ethical concepts from history and today, offering new ways to think about the 'right' thing to do when individual actions seem insignificant.

Rieder discusses the limitations of traditional principles like 'do no harm' and 'respect others' in modern contexts and proposes new principles to navigate these complex crises.

The book addresses various ethical dilemmas, including the ethics of procreation, environmental choices, and the impact of individual actions on larger systems.
