ABSTRACT. This paper provides an introduction to New Earth Philosophy grounded in current scientific and philosophical understanding that seeks practical solutions to real world problems. The paper first introduces the concept ‘after the apocalypse’ linking it to the theme of ‘Being-together’ and the birth of planetary consciousness. Second, it develops the concept in relation to the philosophical characteristics of New Earth literature and, third, it uses it as a warrant for New Earth Ecopedagogies.
