"Plato Tackles Climate Change" manages to take the heavy reality of climate change and the deep thinking of Plato and make it all very readable and provocative.

It is an authoritative account, informed by the latest scientific conclusions and written in consultation with leading experts.

It makes the situation that we are in unusually clear. In fact, there are two chapters that are dedicated exclusively to the science of climate change – essential reading for those who want a sharp and accurate understanding of what is going on.

For readers new to Philosophy, perhaps you will be surprised about how relevant and real the writing of Plato is.

For readers familiar with Plato, it will not be a surprise to find that there are new angles and depth to be opened up. Matthew Pye is both an author and a teacher.

This book offers an open door to his classroom. Each book in the series, "No Common Sense", is written in dialogue with the strongest minds of the past, and each one brings fresh depth to our thinking about climate change.
