The Politics of Nature (book)

"The Politics of Nature" by Bruno Latour challenges traditional views on the separation between humans and nature. He argues that nature is not a passive backdrop but an active participant in political processes. Latour advocates for a reconceptualization of ecology and science as interconnected with societal values, promoting a more democratic and integrated approach to environmental issues. The book emphasizes that addressing climate change and environmental crises requires recognizing the agency of non-human elements and fostering inclusive dialogue among humans and ecological systems, shifting toward a more cooperative relationship rather than domination and exploitation.
