The Philosophy of Social Ecology
ByPublisher Description
- These essays, while “philosophical” in the broad sense, are well-written and polemical attacks on current attitudes toward nature and our place in it. They are spirited and uncompromising. They also offer a positive vision of social and ecological liberation, which are closely linked for Bookchin.
- The second of our reprints of Murray Bookchin’s neglected or out-of-print works, this one constructs the philosophical foundation for the field that he single-handedly created: Social Ecology.
- As the ecological health of the planet grows worse, raising questions about the survival of the human (and other) species, people are looking for precisely the sort of answers Bookchin supplies.
- A clear and powerful refutation of the idea of “Green Capitalism.”

Murray Bookchin (1929–2006) was an active voice in ecology, anarchist, and communalist movements for more than fifty years. His groundbreaking essay, “Ecology and Revolutionary Thought” (1964), was one of the first to assert that capitalism’s grow-or-die ethos was on a dangerous collision course with the natural world that would include the devastation of the planet by global warming. Bookchin is the author of The Ecology of Freedom, among two dozen other books.
