This essay is part of an ongoing series, which I’ve called Ecologizing Society. This project is based on the premise that we already have all the knowledge and technology we need to create an ecological society. You can find links to previous essays in the series here:

  • Dialectical Naturalism

  • The Philosophy of Social Ecology

  • Democratic Municipalism

  • Ecosocialism

  • Degrowth Communism

Outline

  • Degrowth Communism Recap

  • Introducing Social Nature Theory

  • Knowing and Constructing Nature

  • Capitalism and the Production of Nature

  • Conclusion and What’s ahead for Ecologizing Society
