Drawing on examples of urban air pollution and soil pollution, this chapter describes our experience of common environmental challenges in terems of “the tragic,” suggesting that the governance of brownfields and of emissions from coal-fired electricity generation involves the need to give up, undermine, forego, or destroy one or more goods in order to possess or secure one or more other goods. Drawing upon the work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and others, the chapter begins to frame such problems in light of Christian theology and ethics, and points to a new beginning for environmental politics in light of the symbol of the cross.

本章以城市空气污染和土壤污染为例，描述了我们在“悲剧性”方面的共同环境挑战的经验，表明棕地和燃煤发电排放的治理需要放弃、破坏、放弃或摧毁一种或多种商品，以拥有或确保一种或多种其他商品。借鉴迪特里希·邦霍费尔等人的著作，本章开始从基督教神学和伦理学的角度来框定这些问题，并以十字架的象征为环境政治指明一个新的起点。

The Constant Rigor of the Anthropocene 人类世的持续严谨性

This chapter concludes the book by examining the Anthropocene in light of the tragic and the cruciform imaginary. In response to Anthropocene realities that relate individual lives and choices to epochal planetary changes, some have argued that humans are like gods, should embrace their now-recognizable world-changing power, and should pursue “the good Anthropocene.” This chapter argues, instead, that the tragic is a key feature of the Anthropocene, in which some creative possibilities must be foregone, given up, or undermined in order to embrace others. This constancy of the tragic demands a response that embraces the “constant rigor” of responsible action and the pursuit of a “humane Anthropocene.”

本章通过从悲剧和十字形想象的角度考察人类世来结束本书。人类世的现实将个人的生活和选择与划时代的行星变化联系起来，一些人认为，人类就像神一样，应该拥抱他们现在公认的改变世界的力量，应该追求“美好的人类世”。相反，本章认为，悲剧是人类世的一个关键特征，在这个特征中，一些创造性的可能性必须被放弃、放弃或破坏，才能拥抱其他的可能性。这种悲剧的持续性要求我们采取负责任的“持续严格”行动，并追求一个“人道的人类世”。

The Symbolism of the Tragic 悲剧的象征主义

This chapter argues that modern environmental thought has consistently been preoccupied with the tragic. Drawing upon the work of Paul Ricoeur, the chapter explores the ways in which common themes in modern environmental thought symbolize the need to give up, undermine, or destroy one or more goods in order to possess one or more other goods. Specifically, scarcity (which has preoccupied modern environmental thought from its beginnings), tragedy (as explored in literature on the tragedy of the commons), and risk (a measure of the likelihood that certain costs will be incurred) each simultaneously illuminate and mask aspects of our relationship to the tragic.

本章认为，现代环境思想一直被悲剧所占据。借鉴Paul Ricoeur的作品，本章探讨了现代环境思想中的共同主题象征着为了拥有一种或多种其他商品而放弃、破坏或摧毁一种或多种商品的需要。具体来说，稀缺性(从一开始就占据了现代环境思想的中心)、悲剧(在公地悲剧的文献中进行了探讨)和风险(一种衡量发生某些成本的可能性的方法)同时阐明和掩盖了我们与悲剧的关系的各个方面。

This chapter explores the role of social imaginaries in revealing the tragic, justifying responses to the tragic, and patterning legitimate courses of action in the face of the tragic. It examines the rise of religious imaginaries, in particular, as frameworks for environmental thought and governance. Finally, drawing upon the work of Dietrrich Bonhoeffer, the chapter sketches the contours of a religious imaginary by which we might apprehend the tragic, justify certain choices in the face of the tragic, and pattern or teach appropriate responses to the tragic. This “cruciform imaginary” encourages us to bear the costs of the tragic so that others might benefit from possessing or securing more goods at once.

本章探讨了社会想象在揭示悲剧、证明对悲剧的反应以及在面对悲剧时制定合法行动方案方面的作用。它考察了宗教想象的兴起，特别是作为环境思想和治理的框架。最后，借鉴迪特里希·邦霍费尔(Dietrrich Bonhoeffer)的作品，本章勾勒出一种宗教想象的轮廓，通过这种想象，我们可以理解悲剧，为面对悲剧的某些选择辩护，并形成或教导对悲剧的适当反应。这种“十字形想象”鼓励我们承担悲剧的代价，这样其他人就可以从一次拥有或获得更多的物品中受益。

The Macondoization of the World 世界的马其顿化

This chapter argues that globalization has made possible both environmental catastrophe, as symbolized by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and attempts to grasp and manage environmental change at the global level. Governing global environmental challenges in the face of the tragic requires some good by which we may discriminate between competing and often incommensurable goods, some mechanism for apprehending the tragic, justifying certain choices in the face of the tragic, and patterning or teaching acceptable responses to the tragic. The rise of religious imaginaries in global governance has opened the door further to religious ways of thinking about the tragic in global environmental governance.

本章认为，全球化既使环境灾难成为可能，如墨西哥湾深水地平线石油泄漏的象征，也使在全球层面上把握和管理环境变化的尝试成为可能。面对悲剧，治理全球环境挑战需要一些好的东西，我们可以通过它来区分竞争和往往不可比较的商品，需要一些理解悲剧的机制，在悲剧面前为某些选择辩护，以及对悲剧的可接受反应的模式或教导。宗教想象在全球治理中的兴起，进一步打开了以宗教方式思考全球环境治理悲剧的大门。
