With wit and playful creativity, Being Ecological challenges us to think beyond the conventional and embrace the complexity of our ecological entanglement in a way that matters most, how we think!
Susan Kucera, director, producer and filmmaker
A freewheeling, essential guide from one of our foremost ecological philosophers. Very useful for anyone wanting a better understanding of our relationship to the biosphere. Morton points to how we can live a meaningful life in an uncertain modern era
Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach trilogy
If you're still just grooving along with Alan Watts and thinking that nature is wiggly, think again. Timothy Morton's flat ontology and his leveling of the uncanny valley contradict earlier clichés to open up new possibilities for conceptualizing a better future together. And, to tune a bit to the register of Being Ecological, it's all accomplished in a vivid discussion with excellent bookfeel.

Being Ecological is another essential message from one of our most articulate and soulful eco philosophers.

Imagine if Silent Spring was updated and remixed through the prism of our current poly-crisis (many crises in one crisis) as a meticulously documented stream of thought that meditates on the new paths of thought we need to explore if we are to come out of this Anthropocene Era with even a glimmer of hope. Timothy Morton is this generation’s philosopher of the climate crisis. The 21st Century’s most powerful critique of climate change and humanity’s role of thinking our way out of this outline of possible future scenarios in lush prose. A must read.

In an age of collective denial and misinformation the pleasure of accompanying Timothy Morton as he dives head first into the choppy, green and gray waters of our current moment cannot be underestimated.
Adam McKay (director, Don’t Look Up)
