Environmental movements are the subject of increasingly rigorous
political theoretical study. Can the Frankfurt School's critical
frameworks be used to address ecological issues, or do
environmental conflicts remain part of the "failed promise" of this
group? Critical Ecologies aims to redeem the theories of major
Frankfurt thinkers--Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert
Marcuse, among others--by applying them to contemporary
environmental crises.Critical Ecologies argues that sustainability
and critical social theory have many similar goals, including
resistance to different forms of domination. Like the Frankfurt
School itself, the essays in this volume reflect a spirit of
interdisciplinarity and draw attention to intersections between
environmental, socio-political, and philosophical issues. Offering
textual analyses by leading scholars in both critical theory and
environmental politics, Critical Ecologies underscores the
continued relevance of the Frankfurt School's ideas for addressing
contemporary issues.
