On the Verge of a Planetary Civilization presents a philosophical
contribution to integral ecology an emerging approach to the field
that crosses disciplinary boundaries of the humanities and
sciences. In this original book, Sam Mickey argues for the
transdisciplinary significance of philosophical concepts that
facilitate understandings of and responses to the boundaries
involved in ecological issues. Mickey demonstrates how much the
provocative French philosopher Gilles Deleuze contributes to the
development of such concepts, situating his work in dialogue with
that of his colleagues Felix Guattari and Jacques Derrida, and with
theorists who are adapting his concepts in contemporary contexts
such as Isabelle Stengers, Catherine Keller, and the speculative
realist movement of object-oriented ontology. The book focuses on
the overlapping existential, social and environmental aspects of
the ecological problems pervading our increasingly interconnected
planet. It explores the boundaries between .self and other, .humans
and nonhumans, .sciences and humanities, .monism and pluralism,
.sacred and secular, .fact and fiction, .the beginning and end of
the world, and much more."
