As climate chaos, inequality, and social fragmentation intensify, humanity faces an imminent choice, argues the renowned ecological thinker Jeremy Lent. We can either continue with a system built on extraction and endless growth – or we can reimagine civilization itself.

The result is Ecocivilization, a radical yet feasible alternative to a world built on exploitation, accumulation and elite power. In arguing that most people instinctively yearn for justice, mutuality, and dignity, Lent maps a path towards a more equal and humane world in which the ecosystems that sustain us are protected and cherished, while our own species flourishes sustainably. A must-read.

 

Jeremy Lent’s iconic work, described by George Monbiot as “the most profound, brilliant and potentially world-changing book I’ve read this century,” dissects the profound ways in which our cultures shape our understanding of the world. With rigour and lyricism, Lent explores the synthesis of cognitive, religious, philosophical, scientific and political systems that make up our civilizational structures, illuminating the intricate connections between language, myth, and belief systems.
