    A Kantian Epistemic Approach to Climate Change Debates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    <\/strong>Anthropogenic climate change is often designated a \u2018wicked problem\u2019, due to its immense complexity, diverging stakeholder interests, and uncertain outcomes. Such difficulties can lead to confusion, resignation, or even scepticism. This project contends that Kant\u2019s philosophy contains valuable, hitherto overlooked resources for addressing this epistemic side of the contemporary crisis. Kant’s diagnosis of the difficulties that emerge in cosmology when attempting to think the world as a totality can be fruitfully applied to climate change debates, the project argues, and so can the Kantian solution, which consists in sharply distinguishing between theoretical and practical issues and the grounds of justification in each sphere.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
