| Opplysninger | Introduction : What is a critical theory of nature? -- Marx's three materialisms -- Natural history and the primacy of the object -- Capitalism and the domination of nature -- Marx, value, and nature -- Constellations and natural science -- Eco-Marxism's return to Marx -- World-ecology and the persistence of non-Cartesian dualism -- New materialism and dark ecology -- Utopia, the apocalypse, and praxis.. - "This book offers a bold new theoretical understanding of the current ecological crisis via the Frankfurt School.

Pre-eminent thinkers including Georg Lukács, Ernst Bloch, and Theodor Adorno are highlighted for their potential to diagnose the interpenetration of capitalism and nature in a way that neither absolutizes nor obliterates the boundary between the social and natural"
