Bibliography

Rezensionen

'Re-Imagining Ecological Democracy is a landmark in ecological philosophy, offering both a profound argument about how to care democratically for all existence and an indispensable critical guide to the history of green political thought. Lysaker clarifies what is at stake as he re-thinks what a truly ecocentric democracy should entail.' - John S. Dryzek, Professor, University of Canberra, Australia

'In this ambitious critical survey of the avant-garde of green social thought, Odin Lysaker proposes a vision of ecological democracy as ecocentrism in practice. On Lysaker's pulsating synthesis, ecological democracy is envisioned as an emergent constellation of nonanthropocentric critical theory, ontological realism, a political-cosmological ontology, and ecological reflexivity joined together by and as enacting ecological love. A vital addition to the armory of green political philosophy.' - J.M. Bernstein, Professor, The New School for Social Research, USA
