The fate of the world is currently in our hands. Humanity's written history spans just five thousand years. Our still-unknown future could last millions of years, but it could also end tomorrow due to our own actions. An unimaginably large number of people will live with dignity or in misery, or may not live at all, depending on what we choose to do today.

Description

The fate of the world is currently in our hands. Humanity's written history spans just five thousand years. Our still-unknown future could last millions of years, but it could also end tomorrow due to our own actions. An unimaginably large number of people will live with dignity or in misery, or may not live at all, depending on what we choose to do today.
In "What We Owe to the Future," philosopher and Oxford University professor William MacAskill develops the idea of long-term altruism, a perspective that highlights our duty to positively influence the distant future. From this point of view, it is not enough to reverse climate change or prevent the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization can recover if it collapses, that moral progress will not cease, and that we prepare adequately for the era in which the smartest beings on the planet will not be human, but digital.

They said about the book:

"I have never read anything so profound, meaningful, and at the same time so accessible. McAskill is one of the most important philosophers today, and this book is his magnum opus." Rutger Bregman

"No living philosopher has influenced my ethics more than William MacAskill. With What Do We Owe the Future, he has once again managed to transform my way of thinking, patiently deconstructing the prejudices that made me morally blind to the interests of future generations. It is a highly captivating and necessary read." Sam Harris

"This book will reveal to you how long human history could last, what your place in it is, and how much you could do to make it better. It is so simple and so ambitious." Ezra Klein

"This complex, visionary, masterful book has dizzying implications and raises some of the most critical issues we must solve as a species. MacAskill argues for an ethical stance towards the future in a clear and utterly convincing manner, inspiring us to take action." Larissa MacFarquhar, New Yorker

"Many books promise a new 'great idea,' but few offer an idea as brilliant as the one William MacAskill presents in What Do We Owe the Future."
Julia Galef

"An optimistic outlook on the future that moved me to tears." Joseph Gordon-Levitt
