Ecological writers propose a new worldview, but their very zeal to preserve the natural world leads them away from the \"nature\" they revere. The problem is a symptom of the ecological catastrophe in which we are living. Morton sets out a seeming paradox: to have a properly ecological view, we must relinquish the idea of nature once and for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEcology without Nature\u003c\/i\u003e investigates our ecological assumptions in a way that is provocative and deeply engaging. Ranging widely from eighteenth-century through to contemporary philosophy, culture, and history, he explores the value of art in imagining environmental projects for the future.

Deckard travels this oedipal path in \u003cem\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/em\u003e (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEcological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are.
