Humans live on earth like little parasites: they suck nature dry, with fatal consequences. The Indian historian Dipesh Chakrabarty therefore calls for a radical rethinking, away from the human perspective. Yves Bossart talks to him about bacteria, biodiversity and excavators.
Topics in this episode:
00:00 What is the human being for you?
05:14 You call for a "planetary turn" in thinking, a new image of man. What does that look like?
28:24 Air conditioners save lives in India, but on the other hand they continue to heat up the global temperature. How do you resolve the contradiction between the ecological and social question?
49:38 The historian Yuval Harari predicts that we will have descendants in the form of cyber beings. What do you think of this?

The Indian historian Dipesh Chakrabarty prefers to speak of the "habitability of the earth" rather than of "sustainability". He pleads for a decentering of man in nature and for thinking in inhuman time frames. After all, in the "Anthropocene," humans have long since become the determining force of the planet: Every day, about 150 species become extinct - animals, plants and microorganisms. Floods, forest fires and droughts threaten the habitat not only of humans. The consequences are migration, wars, resource shortages.
Chakrabarty argues that climate change has opened a new era in human history, which he calls the "planetary age." His claim: We need to think about humans and nature in a whole new way if we are to have a future as a species. He talks to Yves Bossart about how to do that.
