Abstract

Darren Aronofsky’s 2014 film, Noah, seeks to temper anthropocentrism and render it serviceable in the Anthropocene. Aronofsky argues that it is not enough for humankind to develop passion for the more-than-human world; we must also reinvigorate faith in humanity. And this faith must admit and yet persist in light of the evidence of human depravity that the climate crisis lays bare. Fighting for the planet, he suggests, is not merely a struggle for ecological health but a postsecular struggle for human meaning and the viability of the humanities in a vast, complex, and often unjust cosmos.
