Does the macro-level relationship between temperature and output comprehensively reflect the patterns observed sub-nationally? This Element quantifies heterogeneous productivity-growth responses to plausibly exogenous temperature and precipitation fluctuations using unbalanced panels over 1970-2018 (166 countries from Penn World Tables 10.01; >1,500 sub-national regions from MCC-PIK). It projects climate change-driven permanent damages to the level of GDP per capita by compounding physical risk-induced productivity-growth deviations over time. These transitory shocks are calculated by combining econometrically estimated response functions with an ensemble of NEX-GDDP CMIP6 simulations from 29 global climate models, which are extrapolated to 3,672 provinces covering 95% of global economic production. First, this study provides a basis for producing spatially disaggregated projections of climate-induced economic damages that consistently encompass most productive regions. Second, it shows that accounting for spatially granular climatic exposure and intra-country economic heterogeneity yields aggregated losses that alter the conclusions of previous global GDP models.

Exploring the critical potential of place in continental philosophy, Possibilities of Place in Continental Thought tests the political and ontological valences of this concept to go beyond the limits of existing geographical and phenomenological approaches.Considering place as emergent, relational and enveloping, or in connection to passage, becoming or redemption, the contributions to this volume point to the possibilities inherent in philosophical uses of place. By rejecting a singular and homogenous theory of place, this collection collapses the dichotomies that tend to characterize the discourse on place in favour of a plural conceptualization. It draws attention to the spatial and temporal dynamics within varying theoretical and historical contexts and moves the field forward in significant and vital ways.

This book weaves together Reiner Schürmann’s work on art and politics, drawing on a range of the most important thinkers and poets of the twentieth century and beyond.The Place of the Symbolic gathers Reiner Schürmann’s essays on the nexus of art and politics. In keeping with his translation of the destruction of metaphysics into an an-archic philosophy of practice, Schürmann develops a radical theory of the place of symbols, irreducible either to idealist theories of symbols or structuralist accounts of the symbolic. Symbols, Schürmann argues, may provide a bridge between ontological difference and politics. They resist being grasped metaphysically, in terms of representation. Instead, their understanding requires a specific way of existence: attending to the coming-to-presence of phenomena. As such, the understanding of symbols discloses a form of praxis that abandons ultimate grounds and opens onto the manifold.Alongside Schürmann’s theory of symbols, the collection includes essays on the relation between metaphysics, tragedy, and technology; on the “there is” in poetry; as well as on judgment. Throughout these characteristically lucid interventions, Schürmann’s most urgent concern remains a consideration of singular and finite practices that enact a release from universal principles. Art and politics appear here as the unworking of ultimate grounds; that is, as practices attuned to a truly groundless form of life.
