OverviewENG: The overwhelming scientific evidence indicates that planet Earth is in the process of undergoing dramatic climate change, which threatens to undermine the quality of life around the world. Irrationality of Capitalism and Climate Change demonstrates how the roots of humanity's assault on the environment are directly associated with the origins of capitalism, an irrational social system in which reproduction of capital on a global scale is destructive to the environment. The author begins with a philosophical analysis of the role that reason and passion assume in social systems., then traces the local and regional environmental effects of preindustrial social systems. The author argues that nations are faced with a global challenge, to construct life-affirming policy that functions as an alternative to the global devastation that the accumulation of capital causes. The book concludes by proposing rational socialism, a life-affirming social system that functions in harmony with the environment. RUS: Книга Эндрю Колина демонстрирует, что корни разрушения человеком природы напрямую связаны с происхождением капитализма – социальной системы, в которой воспроизводство капитала в глобальном масштабе разрушительно для окружающей среды. Автор начинает с философского анализа роли, которую разум и страсть играют в социальных системах, а затем прослеживает экологические последствия стимулируемой ими деятельности. Колин утверждает, что перед современными государствами стоит глобальная задача – разработать жизнеутверждающую политику, которая функционировала бы как альтернатива глобальному опустошению.
