Friends, A new article, *"What if humans aren’t in charge of Earth?* A review of *Ecocene Politics *by Mihnea Tănăsescu (2022)" has just been published on RED. As the world slides, inevitably, into a climate induced catastrophe, the society is continually updating its vocabulary to ponder its angst and anguish. Do words like "anthropocene", "plutocene", "capitalocene" describe well the Earth era we are passing through? Or, is "ecocene" a better descriptor? Christine Dann reviews Mihnea Tanasescu's recent book, "Ecocene Politics" in which the author tries to discern the fractured relationship between people and their environment, and rethinks the role politics could play in repairing it. Dann concludes that Tanasescu, while on the right track, needs to dig deeper into the available philosophical discourse on environment as well as the current commentary on, and practice of, ecological democracy to come up with a more convincing and coherent argument. https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/what-if-humans-arent-in-charge-of-ear...
