- Planetary Social Thought is the result of eight years of sustained research collaboration, itself drawing on many years of separate research. The critical review of the flood of natural and social science and humanities literature engaging with the Anthropocene concept was itself a significant task. Developing the notion of planetary social thought has involved detailed literature reviews and intellectual exchange with specialists in the Earth sciences, biophysics, astrophysics, continental philosophy, social theory, history, anthropology, archaeology and decolonial thought, and then developing a novel synthetic method. Demonstrating the utility of our approach through extended empirical examples involved yet more interdisciplinary work.
