Critic Reviews

“'The volume succeeds beautifully in showing the potentials of applying critical theory to issues in environmental philosophy. Environmental philosophers of many stripes will benefit from an examination of critical theory. This book does much to facilitate that examination,'”

-- Darrell Arnold Philosophy in Review; vol 32:02:2012 'Critical Ecologies is an impressive selection of essays that successfully navigates the extremely challenging and ambiguous terrain of the early Frankfurt School... It is a sustained commitment to the equality of theory and its objects and the concomitant liberation of humanity and the material world.' -- Robert M.W. Brown The Goose 2012 issue 10
