Nature in Modernity: Servant, Citizen, Queen or Comrade explores
the origins and implications of the mastery of nature agenda within
Western culture and argues that there is a long-standing parallel
"shadow" tradition grounded instead in mutuality, respect and
reciprocity. This is explored in a series of chapters that focus on
our hunter-gatherer heritage, the shift to a more sedentary and
agricultural life and the subsequent emergence of mastery of self
and nature as the dominant cultural objective. The impact of this
mastery agenda on the natural environment is explored and a case
made that our current ecological crisis has its origins in this
tradition of mastery. A counter tradition is examined, identifying
a range of cultural tools grounded in alternative traditions, tools
that can be used to create a culture of care, mutuality and
reciprocity in which it will be logical to welcome nature in all
its complexity as a fellow citizen.
