Social Ecology and Communalism

Social Ecology and Communalism Book Description Social ecology calls for not only the revitalization of morality but also—and above all—the reconstruction of society on an ecological basis. Social ecology emphasizes that making ethical demands from the centers of power based on blind market forces and ruthless competition will be absolutely fruitless when taken on its own. Taken by itself, such a demand hides from view the real power relations that prevail today, making the achievement of an ecological society merely a matter of changing individual attitudes, a spiritual renewal, or a quasi-religious purification. While always aware of the importance of a new ethical perspective, social ecology aims primarily to end today's society's ecological exploitation of the natural world by delving into both the structural and subjective sources of ideas such as domination of first nature. In short, by challenging the whole system of domination (its economy, its misuse of technology, its administrative apparatus, its discrediting of political life, its destruction of the city as the center of cultural development, all its moral hypocrisies and its defiling of the human soul), they impose themselves on humanity and impose it on non-human nature. It aims to eliminate the hierarchical and class-based value judgment systems that define the relationship between human nature and nature.
