Description
Erazim Kohák’s acclaimed book makes an important contribution to the discussion of ecological ethics. It begins by examining humanity’s relationship with other inhabitants of the Earth, the “animals,” in all its cruelty, tenderness and ambiguity. From this analysis, the author moves to a consideration of humanity’s relationship with nature as a whole, guiding readers through contemporary ideas about nature and its value. The book also provides an overview of ecological activism strategies, including “subjectivising” approaches such as practical “flannel” activism and deep ecology, as well as “objectivising” approaches that seek the roots of the crisis in the objective conditions of life on Earth, including the GAIA theory, sociobiology and systems theory. The final chapter presents the author’s personal views and convictions.
