Edited by Elio Della Noce, Lucas Murari ...

Ecology without Nature

Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics

by Timothy Morton ...

In Ecology without Nature, Timothy Morton argues that the chief stumbling block to environmental thinking is the image of nature itself. Ecological writers propose a new worldview, but their very zeal to preserve the natural world leads them away from the "nature" they revere. The problem is a symptom of the ecological catastrophe in which we are living. Morton sets out a seeming paradox: to have ... Read more
