Per un’ecologia sociale anti-gerarchica, anti-capitalista e orientata al municipalismo libertario. L’attualità del pensiero di Murray Bookchin

Abstract

With worsening of social, political and economic problems and challenges, critical thinking finds space and, in the name of “sustainability,” the theoretical approach also seeks to identify the premises of a change that is both radical and reasonable, recovering long neglected practices, values and concepts. Bookchin’s vision, between polemic and analysis, between description and prescription, is clear and concrete: social structures must be changed to recreate a symbiotic and non-hierarchical relationship between humans and nature. In his theory ecological and social crises are interconnected; the exploitation of nature is a projection of man’s exploitation by man. This is a reading that deserves attention today, at a time when ecological sensitivity seems to be awakening with force.
