Nature and Social Theory Paperback – 18 October 2001

by Alex Franklin (Author)
5.0 out of 5 stars 1
See all formats and editions
This book asks the questions can Man' be separated from Nature'? Is it valid to seek to control' Nature? It argues that the firm modern boundaries between nature and culture have been breached and pulls together new strands of thinking about nature which suggest that humanity and nature have never been separate. The argument is developed through a critical discussion of the Romantic ideal of pure nature, unsullied by humanity and largely confined to fragile margins in need of protection and more recent discourses which identify nature with environment, and cast man in the role of a polluter and destroyer.
