Real Green : Sustainability after the End of Nature

What would a sustainable society look like? How could it be achieved? By challenging conventional wisdom about the ecological crisis and reframing the traditional values of green politics "Real Green; Sustainability after the End of Nature" offers new answers to the key questions of the environmental debate. In this ground-breaking and challenging work Manuel Arias-Maldonado convincingly argues that, since nature has now been transformed into a part of the human environment, it can be seen to no longer exist.

Ecological problems thus become an inevitable and normal feature of our relationship with nature.

Hence a post-natural environmentalism, realistic and liberal while remaining green, is advocated.

In this framework, sustainability, democracy and liberalism become mutually reinforcing elements rather than conflicting ones.

Only by combining them can a green society be realised.
