"Today the fate of the earth as a home for humanity is in question-and yet, contends John Bellamy Foster, the reunification of humanity and the earth remains possible if we are prepared to make revolutionary changes. As with his prior books, The Dialectics of Ecology is grounded in the contention that we are now faced with a concrete choice between ecological socialism and capitalist exterminism, and rooted in insights drawn from the classical historical materialist tradition. In this latest work, Foster explores the complex theoretical debates that have arisen historically with respect to the dialectics of nature and society. He then goes on to examine the current contradictions associated with the confrontation between capitalist extractivism and the financialization of nature, on the one hand, and the radical challenges to these represented by emergent visions of ecological civilization and planned degrowth, on the other"--

Hope must be mixed with realism in our approach to the climate emergency, and in this book philosopher John Foster presents a revolutionary approach to our pressing need for a habitable human future.

Explores capitalism's role in creating the current state of climate emergency. Over the last 11,700 years, during which human civilization developed, the earth has existed within what geologists refer to as the Holocene Epoch. Now science is telling us that the Holocene Epoch in the geological time scale ended, replaced by a new more dangerous

This work offers a compelling reinterpretation of the radical and socialist roots of ecology. Building on the foundation laid in his earlier book, John Bellamy Foster explores the connections between social justice and environmental sustainability throughout history. He begins with the deaths of Darwin and Marx and traces developments leading to the ecological movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Foster examines the contributions of socialist thinkers and materialist scientists, from William Morris and Frederick Engels to Rachel Carson and Stephen J. Gould, who aimed to create a dialectical naturalism grounded in a critique of capitalism. Through this exploration, he reveals a rich history of efforts to address social and environmental issues together. Ultimately, the narrative calls for a transformative ecological revolution that seeks to harmonize human needs with the health of the planet.
