| Murray Bookchin’s theory of social ecology incorporates ecological, anarchist, and Marxist elements in a way that has greatly influenced many environmentalists and social activists, particularly those opposed to increasing economic globalization. Bookchin’s thought suggests that we should be aiming to live in small-scale, self-sufficient, cooperative, egalitarian communities. The course critically examines the ideas of both Bookchin and those of some of his intellectual heirs and critics. |
