Winner, 2020 Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize A
fascinating reinterpretation of the radical and socialist origins
of ecology Twenty years ago, John Bellamy Foster's Marx's Ecology:
Materialism and Nature introduced a new understanding of Karl
Marx's revolutionary ecological materialism. More than simply a
study of Marx, it commenced an intellectual and social history,
encompassing thinkers from Epicurus to Darwin, who developed
materialist and ecological ideas. Now, with The Return of Nature:
Socialism and Ecology, Foster continues this narrative. In so
doing, he uncovers a long history of the efforts to unite questions
of social justice and environmental sustainability, and helps us
comprehend and counter today's unprecedented planetary emergencies.
The Return of Nature begins with the deaths of Darwin (1882) and
Marx (1883) and moves on until the rise of the ecological age in
the 1960s and 1970s. Foster explores how socialist analysts and
materialist scientists of various stamps, first in Britain, then
the United States, from William Morris and Frederick Engels, to
Joseph Needham, Rachel Carson, and Stephen J. Gould, sought to
develop a dialectical naturalism, rooted in a critique of
capitalism. In the process, he delivers a far-reaching and
fascinating reinterpretation of the radical and socialist origins
of ecology. Ultimately, what this book asks for is nothing short of
revolution: a long, ecological revolution, aimed at making peace
with the planet while meeting collective human needs.
