In this passionate, lucid, and surprising book, Timothy Morton
argues that all forms of life are connected in a vast, entangling
mesh. This interconnectedness penetrates all dimensions of life. No
being, construct, or object can exist independently from the
ecological entanglement, Morton contends, nor does "Nature" exist
as an entity separate from the uglier or more synthetic elements of
life. Realizing this interconnectedness is what Morton calls the
ecological thought. In three concise chapters, Morton investigates
the profound philosophical, political, and aesthetic implications
of the fact that all life forms are interconnected. As a work of
environmental philosophy and theory, The Ecological Thought
explores an emerging awareness of ecological reality in an age of
global warming. Using Darwin and contemporary discoveries in life
sciences as root texts, Morton describes a mesh of deeply
interconnected life forms-intimate, strange, and lacking fixed
identity. A "prequel" to his Ecology without Nature: Rethinking
Environmental Aesthetics (Harvard, 2007), The Ecological Thought is
an engaged and accessible work that will challenge the thinking of
readers in disciplines ranging from critical theory to Romanticism
to cultural geography.
