Overview

In the tradition of the ecological reading of Marx, this book offers a philosophical reflection on the ecological crisis on the basis of Karl Marx's theory of modern, capitalist society. The following questions are pursued: What is the nature of the ecological crisis? What is the cause or what are the causes of the ecological crisis? How can the ecological crisis be solved? Can Marxian theory be used to develop a critique and further development of non-Marxian theories that relate to the ecological crisis? And if so, what is the content of this critique and further development? In order to answer these questions, the theory developed by Marx in 1857/58 in the ""Grundrisse"" is reconstructed in a textual and systematic manner in the first step. In the second step, theories from economics and natural ethics are presented and placed in an argumentative context with Marx's theory. Due to this interdisciplinary character, the book is not only aimed at philosophers, but also at economists and social scientists as well as people with an interest in environmental protection, sustainability and ecology.
