Real Green

What would a sustainable society look like? How could it be achieved? By challenging conventional wisdom about the ecological crisis and reframing the traditional values of green politics Real Green; Sustainability after the End of Nature offers new answers to the key questions of the environmental debate. In this ground-breaking and challenging work Manuel Arias-Maldonado convincingly argues that since nature has now been transformed into a part of the human environment it can be seen to no longer exist. Ecological problems thus become an inevitable and normal feature of our relationship with nature. Hence a post-natural environmentalism realistic and liberal while remaining green is advocated. In this framework sustainability democracy and liberalism become mutually reinforcing elements rather than conflicting ones. Only by combining them can a green society be realised.
