Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the challenges of the Urban Age, this book explores how modern cities, now the center of human existence, face threats like climate change, resource depletion, and social division. It examines the interplay between human knowledge and self-awareness in addressing these issues, drawing parallels to Hannah Arendt's insights in The Human Condition. By framing contemporary concerns within the context of urban life, the author highlights the defining elements of human prospects in a time marked by uncertainty and risk.
