Extending the definition of ecology to encompass social relations and
human subjectivity as well as environmental concerns, The Three
Ecologies argues that the ecological crises that threaten our planet
are the direct result of the expansion of a new form of capitalism and
that a new ecosophical approach must be found which respects the
differences between all living systems. A powerful critique of
capitalism and a manifesto for a new way of thinking, the book is also
an ideal introduction to the work of one of Europe's most radical
thinkers.
This edition includes a chronology of Guattari's life and work,
introductions to both his general philosophy and to the work itself, and
extended notes to the original text.
