Excellent- More about Dark Ecology: For a Logic of Future Coexistence
In the Anthropocene era, Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness takes the form of a strange loop or Möbius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this oedipal path in Blade Runner (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Dark ecology puts us in an uncanny position of radical self-knowledge, illuminating our place in the biosphere and our belonging to a species. Morton's work is a fusion of humanities and scientific scholarship, incorporating the theories and findings of philosophy, anthropology, literature, ecology, biology, and physics, with the hope of reestablishing our ties to nonhuman beings and rediscovering the playfulness and joy that can brighten the dark, strange loop we traverse.

In the Anthropocene era, Timothy Morton posits that ecological awareness manifests as a peculiar loop or Möbius strip, with only one side. This twisted path is traversed by Deckard in Blade Runner (1982), as he discovers that he could potentially be the adversary he has been tasked with pursuing. The emergence of this ecological awareness is attributed to the inherent loop form of ecological phenomena, which is fundamental to the organization of the natural world.
The logistics of agricultural society have led to the onset of global warming, implanting harmful notions about life forms into the human psyche. Dark ecology presents us with an unsettling perspective of radical self-awareness, illuminating our position within the biosphere and our belonging to a species, which is often less apparent than we would like to believe. Morton delves into the logical underpinnings of the ecological crisis, characterized by a melancholic and negative coexistence, yet evolving into something playful, anarchic, and comedic. His work seamlessly blends humanities and scientific scholarship, incorporating the theories and findings of philosophy, anthropology, literature, ecology, biology, and physics. Morton aims to reestablish our connections with nonhuman beings and assist us in rediscovering the joy and playfulness that can brighten the enigmatic loop we traverse.
