This book analyses the threat posed by the continued use of fossil
fuels. By utilizing Elizabeth Shove's social practices approach and
Murphy's own social closure framework, the book examines the
accelerating treadmill of carbon-polluting practices. It
incorporates externalities theory to investigate how the full cost
of fossil fuels is paid by others rather than users, and to
demonstrate that the environmental commons is a medium for
conveying intergenerational monopolisation and exclusion in the
Anthropocene. Murphy uncovers a pattern of opposition to change
when exploiting valuable but dangerous resources. He argues that a
new faith in mastering nature is emerging as a belief in
just-in-time technological solutions to circumvent having to change
fossil-fuelled practices. The book then moves on to assess proposed
solutions, including Beck's staging of risk and his hypothesis that
the anticipation of global catastrophe will incite emancipation. It
proposes a novel approach to enhancing foresight and avoid
incubating disaster. It will appeal to readers interested in an
original social science analysis of this creeping crisis and its
resolution.

The development and inequalities of society have traditionally been
analysed in terms of stratification and class. Raymond Murphy
argues that important inequalities of power remain unanalysed by
traditional social theories, and that the concept of social
closure, suggested by Max Weber, provides a means of capturing the
common and essential features of types of subordination that appear
quite different on the surface. Seemingly unrelated forms of
domination based on private property, the bureaucratic Communist
Party, credentials, status, race, language, and gender, are tied
together by Weber's notion of social closure as the underlying
principle of all systems of inequality in power. The book suggests
improvements to the conceptions of closure, power, and social
class, and turns closure theory back on itself to analyse the
scholarly field. It develops a conceptualization of the rules of
social closure and their transformation, and compares the Weberian
concept of closure with the Marxian concept of exploitation.
Raymond Murphy examines the way in which Western society, in the
elusive pursuit of mastery and control, has transformed its codes
of social closure by the process of formal rationalization. He
shows how this formal rationalization of monopolization and
exclusion has led to substantively irrational results. Professor
Murphy's conclusion - that Weber's theories of social closure and
rationalization provide a conceptual basis for going beyond a
narrow focus on one particular means of monopolization to an
analysis of monopolization and exclusion per se - marks an
important and original advance in the development of the ideas of
Weber and in social theory generally.

Sociology as if nature did not matter has been the sociological
expression of modern societies negligent of the processes of
nature. In response to this "ecological blindness," Raymond Murphy
examines the limitations of sociology that have resulted from this
neglect.Humanity's success in manipulating nature destabilizes the
natural support system of society on a planetary scale and, in
turn, destabilizes all of society's institutions. Because the
manipulation of nature has become so central to modern society,
society, Murphy argues, can now be understood only in terms of the
interaction between social action and the processes of nature. The
growing awareness that social constructions unleash dynamic
processes of nature--processes beyond human control that bear on
social action--has the potential of radically transforming
sociology. "Sociology and Nature" proposes the reconstruction of
sociology in which nature does matters, developing a novel
sociological approach that situates social action in its natural
context.

Divergent beliefs about humanity's relationship to nature collide
as the second millenium ends. One belief emphasizes that a
distinctive characteristic of humans--reason--enables them to
reshape and master nature. Another insists that nature is not so
plastic, hence humans must adapt to nature and render development
sustainable, or even limit growth. "Social ecology" asserts that
environmental problems result from institutional hierarchies and
suggests decentralized institutions and egalitarian ethics.
According to "deep ecology" such problems originate in cultures
assuming only humans are worthwhile, thus it stresses the intrinsic
value of nature. Feminists are torn between values based on the
equality of men and women and ecofeminist values postulating that
women are inherently closer to nature than men. "Rationality and
Nature" critically assesses these conflicting cultural
tendencies.Waste has been the forgotten element of political
economy. Western society has sophisticated methods of financial
accounting but does little to account for the losses--financial and
human--of waste. Raymond Murphy proposes in this book a theory of
environmental debt as a source of capital accumulation. He develops
a model of "environmental classes" that helps us to understand the
political and economic basis of conflict over the
environment.Environmental degradation did not occur on a vast scale
until science and applied science were developed. Are they
responsible for it and can they be reoriented toward a more
symbiotic relationship with nature? Other ways of bringing about a
symbiotic relationship are also explored in this book: compulsion,
ecological values, ecological experience, and ecologicalknowledge.
