in a piece by Luisetta Mudie called "Climate Change and the Poetic Imagination." In it, if I understand her correctly, Mudie seems to accept the science of AGW and suggests that we must start imagining things differently if we are to cope with it effectively. "Science," she writes, "cannot get very far with climate change divorced from its partner, the Mature (not classroom) Imagination."The problem with this is that we simply cannot will ourselves to do that. In fact, that is the problem with the way we moderns go about things: We come up with an idea that we think will solve a given problem, then go about trying to put said idea into practice. This is a far cry from the interpersonal engagement with the world we once enjoyed.
