John L. Foster

    John Bellamy Foster ist ein Soziologe, dessen Werk sich mit der komplexen Beziehung zwischen Kapitalismus und der ökologischen Krise befasst. Er untersucht kritisch die politische Ökonomie des Kapitalismus und erforscht seine inhärenten Tendenzen zu wirtschaftlicher Instabilität und Umweltzerstörung. Fosters marxistischer theoretischer Rahmen bietet eine einzigartige Perspektive, durch die er diese komplexen Themen analysiert und tiefgreifende Einblicke in die systemischen Wurzeln globaler Herausforderungen bietet.

      "Today the fate of the earth as a home for humanity is in question-and yet, contends John Bellamy Foster, the reunification of humanity and the earth remains possible if we are prepared to make revolutionary changes. As with his prior books, The Dialectics of Ecology is grounded in the contention that we are now faced with a concrete choice between ecological socialism and capitalist exterminism, and rooted in insights drawn from the classical historical materialist tradition. In this latest work, Foster explores the complex theoretical debates that have arisen historically with respect to the dialectics of nature and society. He then goes on to examine the current contradictions associated with the confrontation between capitalist extractivism and the financialization of nature, on the one hand, and the radical challenges to these represented by emergent visions of ecological civilization and planned degrowth, on the other"--

      "In "The Return of Nature," John Bellamy Foster uncovers a long history of efforts to unite issues of social justice and environmental sustainability that will help us comprehend and counter today's unprecedented planetary emergencies. Beginning with the deaths of Darwin and Marx, Foster moves on through the rise of the ecological age in the 1960s and 1970s, exploring how socialist analysts and materialist scientists ought to develop a dialectical naturalism, rooted in a critique of capitalism"-- Provided by publisher
