What will it be of love in the era of human domination over nature? Can we love what our parents and grandparents used to love? And is it our love the same love they used to share? In his inspiring Talk, Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at New York University (NYU) answers these questions and explains why we can ultimately keep love in the Anthropocene alive.
