ABSTRACT
Is environmentalism capable of addressing the ecological challenges of the twenty-first century? Proponents of post-environmentalism argue that environmentalism’s tendency to treat humanity and nature as fixed and separate entities undermines its effectiveness. They call for a reconceptualization of the nature of the environment, which in turn requires reconceptualizing environmental ethics and politics. While post-environmentalists reimagine the relationship between humanity and nature in different ways and do not always draw the same ethical and political conclusions, they all share a commitment to refining conceptual resources that can guide society towards the goal of ecological sustainability.
