Postmodernism and the Environmental Crisis by Arran Gare

Postmodernism and the Environmental Crisis by Arran Gare

Postmodernism and the Environmental Crisis is the only book to combine cultural theory and environmental philosophy. In it, Arran Gare analyses the conjunction between the environmental crisis, the globalisation of capitalism and the disintegration of the culture of modernity. It explains the paradox of growing concern for the environment and the paltry achievements of environmental movements. Through a critique of the philosophies underlying approaches to the environmental crisis, Arran Gare puts forward his own, controversial theory of a new postmodern world view. This would be the foundation for the environmental movement to succeed. Arran Gare's work will be a vital reading for advanced students of environmental studies, as well as for environmental philosophers and cultural theorists.

Arran E. Gare is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and Cultural Inquiry at Swinburne University, Australia. He is the author of Nihilism Incorporated and Beyond European Civilization.
