From global warming to the long-term implications of ocean acidification, air and water pollution, deforestation, and the omnipresent dangers of nuclear technology the future of our planetary home is threatened. Yet in the midst of the unfolding crisis, the conventional ideologies of the twentieth century and their representations of nature remain unchallenged by both the defenders of capitalism and capitalisms most radical critics. The Distortion of Natures Image illustrates how the anti-naturalism of late capitalist society, in which nature is reified into the emptiness of mere matter, simply a thing to be dominated, is subtly complemented by the failure of the Left to go both beyond the historic limitations of Marxs ninteenth-century viewpoint and beyond anarchisms blind faith in "natural law." However, an alternative for comprehending nature and the ecological crisis as historical and social phenomena remains open in the dialectical naturalism of Western Marxism and Murray Bookchins social ecology. By examining in closer detail how Bookchins social ecology politicizes the concept of nature, as well as how precursory models in Western Marxist thought provide a foundation for this, Damian Gerber illustrates how the notion of an ecological society remains a decisively political question....3178199The Distortion of Natures Image645717https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-distortion-of-natures-image-9781438473567/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2334909/34c978a4-8db8-4a6c-9302-b1a77248b175.jpg?v=638383835281630000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20199781438473567_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_The global ecological crisis is upon us.
