| book description |

We find ourselves in a moment of unprecedented global confusion. Pockets of human concern for our environment appear and disappear, many, perhaps most people though seem oblivious to the potential ecological catastrophe we are facing. And yet it is the 21st Century that must confront and resolve this universal crisis. From the author of the critically acclaimed The Enemy of Nature, comes this all-inclusive Ecosocialist manifesto. Every phase of history has its own mode of production, Kovel and Saul show that ours is based on the conversion of everything to its money form, a mode that has turned nature into a mere resource. Through impressive historical, political and philosophical considerations The Light of Nature calls for a reimagining of the intrinsic value of nature. Kovel and Saul's Ecosocialism recognizes that all aspects of nature from a brain to a body, a boulder to a bird, also have an intrinsic value, a value which cannot be used or exchanged. An acknowledgement of this value not only holds the key to a unified, global resistance to the genocidal and ecocidal forces of the 21st Century, but to prefiguring a new mode of production and organization, a new moment in history.
