Murgia, André

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the issue of political agency in the context of the climate crisis. In this regard, the article reports and analyzes the outlines of the debate on the relationship between human beings and the non-human world, and takes Bruno Latour’s theoretical proposal and some criticisms of it as a reference. For the most part, this debate revolves around ontological questions concerning the status of human beings in the world. Such questions provide arguments for better understanding whether politics represents an autonomous dimension in which human agency possesses a peculiar meaning or not.
