Beyond Bookchin

Social ecology at an impasse -- Of human hubris and cricket dreams -- The wolf's point of view -- Progress and other mirages -- The social ecologist as technocrat -- Bookchin's civitas : from here to where? -- On dreams of reason and unbridgeable chasms -- Social ecology and its discontents.

A comprehensive discussion of Murray Bookchin's social ecology. The author goes beyond social ecology to explore new paths of thinking and radical politics. His visionary ecology challenges the mystique of progress and proposes a more holistic notion of reason both primal and modern, skeptical and mythopoetic.
