Description

Ecology Without Nature: Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics by Timothy Morton explores the idea that our attempts to preserve nature may actually be hindering environmental thinking. By relinquishing the concept of nature, we can develop a more radical and effective approach to ecological criticism. Morton examines the value of art in imagining future environmental projects, tracing the evolution of ecological constructs through history and culture. He draws on a wide range of sources, from 18th-century philosophy to contemporary thought, to create a fresh vocabulary for understanding "environmentality" in artistic form and content. This book offers a provocative and deeply engaging analysis of our ecological assumptions, one that challenges readers to rethink their relationship with the natural world.
