A review by ronanmcd
Being Ecological by Timothy Morton
4.0
I'm too ill informed and unfocused to understand the first oats of this book where the author lays out the foundations for his outlook.
But i got past that.
Then i got a treat of views science and art, and some ecology. There are some astounding moments, and some where you feel, i got that idea, i just never expressed thus (sustainability is about maintaining the status quo just enough). But there are some that are pretty far out and which having read the reasoning i couldn't argue against: the premise of the book example, you can't choose to be ecological, you already are part of ecology.
I also hugely admire the glimpse of a future where our footprint is light and we can enjoy being a part of a world, not its owners.
