On what comes after human rights.
Juliano Fiori, essayist and director of Alameda Institute, joins us to talk about catastrophism and organising around "the end". We discuss:
- What was humanitarianism, and why was it the "last utopia"?
- What does humanitarianism look like in an era of multipolarity?
- Does Western liberal democracy have any gas left in it? What should we defend?
- What politics are generated by the prevailing sense of anxiety and melancholia?
- If modernity is over, do we need to reject all progressivism?
- And how do we orient around catastrophe without falling into the trap of emergency politics?
