The problem

... is not so much the human as it is the self. Discuss.

jawa said...: I've thought for some time that 'a problem is never really solved.' There may be instances of clarity and appropriation... static instances... but really? is there permanence to our human solutions?

I propose that evolution negates permanent solution.; June 23, 2010 9:10 PM
jawa said...: Or, more to your query....
The self, singular or collective, can only solve singular problems, individually, and sequentially.

The human problem is too fractal, or perhaps fractured.

jawa said...: Again? Sorry.
To the ecological/environmental question, as is currently posed.... requires the utmost dedication by the individual, in collaboration with "the human."

“Outstanding.”
—Slavoj Zizek, In Defense of Lost Causes

“Dark ecology has the potential to be the punk rock or experimental pop of ecological thinking.”
—Kasino A4

“It isn’t [nature] itself that needs trashing — we’re doing a fine job of that already; it’s our way of thinking about it that needs to be structurally realigned ... it's an important book that, in a scant 205 pages of main text ... frames a debate that no doubt will be carried on for years to come.”
—Vince Carducci, Pop Matters

“He practices what he theorizes: nothing is wasted in his argumentation.”
—Emmanouil Aretoulakis, Synthesis

“Picking up where his most obvious predecessors, Gregory Bateson and Felix Guattari, left off, Morton understands mental ecology as the ground zero of ecological thinking, as that which must be redressed before anything else and above all. Morton goes beyond both his forebears, however, in repairing the rift between science and the humanities, which the Enlightenment opened up and against which Romanticism reacted. Perhaps most pleasantly surprising, given its erudition, is that in its stylistic elegance The Ecological Thought is as satisfying to read as it is necessary to ponder.”
—Vince Carducci
