Todd Dufresne is a professor of Philosophy at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay Ontario. He’s the author of thirteen books including The Democracy of Suffering: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe, Philosophy in the Anthropocene. Dufresne is an expert on Sigmund Freud and the history of psychoanalysis. His latest book is entitled The Future Belongs to Those Who Fight: Climate Revolution for Beginners.
Todd thinks there must be a reckoning with climate disaster. He says we have to come to terms with the democracy of suffering enveloping the globe – the collective experience of suffering caused by climate change. We need a bold new vision of a just future beyond capitalism. Far from reform, he thinks we need a revolution. A climate revolution.
