“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

Thanks Mate

Matt Hayler has said this:

Perhaps the most influential critique of the “natural” in the late twentieth century is Derrida's discussion of Rousseau in Of Grammatology. In the early twenty-first century, a contender has to be Timothy Morton's Ecology without Nature...

It's interesting because there's a whole discussion of (specifically) Of Grammatology in Dark Ecology. You are going to be so amazed and weirded out by the cover...

Well deserved recognition of groundbreaking work opening up new ways of thinking about nature and existence independent of the relational existence of Kant & Co.
