In another one of Penguin's Green Ideas volumes Timothy Morton presents a provocative and playful way to reimagine man's relationship with the non-human world. He explores the feeling some people have about the strangeness of living in an age of mass extinction caused by the over-consumption of natural resources by a growing population of humans. When the people of Ecuador living in the Amazon objected to Chevron's oil drilling that polluted the land and waters, Ecuador re-wrote its constitution to allow for "the rights of nature."

Morton writes that the truth of the world is messy and interminable, both in relation to the human mind and body. To think ecologically, or to 'be' ecologically, is to understand non human entities have the same agency and real presence in the world as humans or the human subject. Their concept of 'truthiness'-- the grainy, broken, inconsistent appearance of truth in reality and more intensely in art- is quite compelling. However, their prognosis and their vision of how to live ecologically or engage in activism is not fleshed out at all. They only really say that you have to live in the present and feel the interconnectedness of things, thereby relinquishing pure subjective thinking and a sense of pure agency without explaining how you as an individual might help address environmental concerns. The Gen X section towards the end I hope was ironic, otherwise it was extremely cringe.

Caution: this short book is a chapter from Morton's Being Ecological, so don't make the mistake of buying both (I did...).
