A marxist philosophy of praxis-that world-changing ideas emerge from the acts of everyday people-undergirds the book. Our daily reality, writes Loftus, is woven out of the entanglements of social and natural relations, and as such a kind of environmental politics is automatically incorporated into our lives. Nevertheless, one effect of the public recognition of global environmental change, asserts Loftus, has been a resurgence of dualistic understandings of the world: for example, that nature is inflicting revenge on arrogant human societies.
This ambitious work reformulates-with the assistance of such philosophers as Lukács, Gramsci, Lefebvre, and others-a politics of the environment in which everyday subjectivity is at the heart of a revolutionary politics.
