Subjugating the Earth is an idea that is dying around us. For millennia, humans have sought to dominate nature – but at what cost? Historian Philipp Blom traces the origins of this idea from ancient Mesopotamia to the Enlightenment and colonial expansion. Now, as the climate crisis unfolds, he explores how this mindset is collapsing and asks: can we rethink our place within nature? Blending history, science, and philosophy, Blom offers a powerful new perspective on humanity’s future. Join him for a thought-provoking exploration of our changing world.
