He/Him

Dr. Rupert Read is professor of philosophy at the University of East Anglia, UK, and one of the leading voices for the systemic transformation toward an ecological civilization. He has worked as a green party campaigner in Great Britain and as a spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion. Rupert is the author of several books, including This Civilization Is Finished: Conversations on the End of Empire – and What Lies Beyond (2019, with Samuel Alexander), Extinction Rebellion: Insights from the Inside (2020), A Film-Philosophy of Ecology and Enlightenment (2020), Parents for A Future: How Loving Our Children Can Prevent Climate Collapse (2021), and Deep Adaptation: Navigating the Realities of Climate Chaos (2021, with Jem Bendell). Some of his shorter publications discuss the notion of “Thrutopia“, the absurdity of debating climate deniers, and inherent paradoxes of sustainable development.
