Ecological Civilization - Our Only Chance

Towards Ecological Realism, Communal Reproduction and Democratic Transition

Kuvaus

The current ecological crisis is not a single environmental disturbance, but a crisis of the modern civilization of promise, growth, and control. This crisis cannot be solved by mere technical fixes, but requires a new understanding of reality, a new basic economic category, and a new democratic idea of society. The book's answer to this is ecological realism, communal renewal, and a democratic transition toward ecological civilization.
