This volume examines contemporary reconceptualizations of responsibility and agency in the face of the ecological crisis. It offers a philosophical-interdisciplinary orientation within current debates on nature, culture, and responsibility. Contributions from philosophy, political ecology, sociology, and cultural theory critically examine anthropocentric models, new materialisms, and concepts as and around the Anthropocene. By combining conceptual analysis with reflections on ethical and political practice, the volume addresses scholars and advanced students interested in contemporary socio-ecological transformation.With contributions byDidier Debaise | Giovanna Caruso | Patrick Lars Müller | Martin Mulsow | Marlen Reinschke | Alexander Schindler | Annika Troitzsch | Oliver Victor | Matthieu Wieser This title is also available as open access.
