Inspired by the ecosophical writings of Felix Guattari, this book
explores the many ways that aesthetics - in the forms of visual
art, film, sculpture, painting, literature, and the screenplay -
can act as catalysts, allowing us to see the world differently,
beyond traditional modes of representation. This is in direct
parallel to Guattari's own attempt to break down the 19th century
Kantian dialectic between man, art, and world, in favour of a
non-hierarchical, transversal approach, to produce a more ethical
and ecologically sensitive world view. Each chapter author analyses
artworks which critique capitalism's industrial devastation of the
environment, while at the same time offering affirmative,
imaginative futures suggested by art. Including contributions from
philosophers, film theorists and artists, this book asks: How can
we interact with the world in a non-dominant and non-destructive
way? How can art catalyze new ethical relations with non-human
entities and the environment? And, crucially, what part can
philosophy play in rethinking these structures of interaction?
