Solving this issue will inevitably be costly.\u003c\/b\u003e Assume, furthermore, that we disagree reasonably about how to distribute costs, and how to conceive of the moral problem of climate change to begin with. How can we make progress in the light of this reasonable disagreement? The author argues that we can learn from two related but distinct schools of thought in contemporary philosophy: the idea of conciliationism (when a peer that is equal to you in terms of knowledge about some domain disagrees, you have reason to find compromises) and the idea of public reason (only policies or rules that are, at some level of idealization, acceptable to all can be justified.) Via these two ideas, the author analyzes various important aspects of climate change and suggests that we can find ways to address the issue that are indeed justifiable to all. Disagreement does not mean paralysis.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMorten Ebbe Juul Nielsen \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor at the section of philosophy at Copenhagen University.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 October 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666975925\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e306\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51196959424652,"sku":"9781666975925","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666975925","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
