- This substantial monograph is the result of several years of research and emerged from the author’s participation as co-investigator in a project funded by the European Social Fund (2009-12). While its primary object of study is contemporary literature, it offers complex critical analyses of our obligations to future generations which are viewed through ethical frameworks and informed by ecological theories. Drawing on Martha Nussbaum’s concept of eudaimonistic judgement, it argues for a eudaemonistic model of reading, thus developing an original approach to climate fiction that engages with a wide range of philosophical and existential debates in the texts examined.
