Publisher's Summary
What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. In the essays of The Philosophy of Social Ecology, Murray Bookchin confronts these questions head on, invoking the ideas of mutualism, self-organization, and unity in diversity, in the service of ever-expanding freedom.
Refreshingly polemical and deeply philosophical, these essays take issue with technocratic and mechanistic ways of understanding and relating to, and within, nature. More importantly, they develop a solid, historically and politically based ethical foundation for social ecology, the field that Bookchin himself created and that offers us hope in the midst of our climate catastrophe.

Mind blowing
The Philosophy of Social Ecology takes the values and yearnings of many ethical beings and transforms them into reason, order and structure. Bookchin didn’t just want a better future, he planned for it. I am not one to re-read books, but I know that I’ll be revisiting this one. Thank you to the Bookchin family and co for making this work accessible.
