“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Kate Soper on Ecological Pleasure



“Eco-criticism and the Politics of Prosperity” at Emergent Environments. I don't agree with her characterization of The Ecological Thought as anti-human or posthuman. Indeed, there are some arguments in there against posthumanism and also in favor of post-capitalist forms of pleasure.
