Papers by David Macauley
https://www.sunypress.edu/p-5020-elemental-philosophy.aspx
Combining philosophy, ecology, and political theory, chapters thoroughly examine, critique, and build upon the ideas of such luminaries as Thomas Hobbes, Martin Heidegger, Ernst Bloch, Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Barry Commoner, Rachel Carson, and Jurgen Habermas, among others. Each thinker considered has contributed significantly to both contemporary discussion and historical understanding of political, epistemological, or social aspects related to nature and, with several exceptions, stimulated constructive dialogue within progressive, democratic, and radical left circles. By challenging the notion that conservation is inherently politically conservative or that our oikos (home) must be rendered uniformly economic where ecology is concerned, they enable us to rethink the possibility of creating a more democratic and ecological society.

in which inquiry into the seasons can reveal new and illuminating perspectives for environmental thought, philosophy, anthropology, cultural studies, aesthetics, poetics, and literary studies.
The volume opens up new avenues for research in these fields and provides a valuable resource for teachers and students of the environmental humanities. The innovative essays address a wide range
of seasonal cultures and geographies, from the traditional Western model of the four seasons––spring, summer, fall, and winter––to the Indigenous seasons of Australia and the Arctic. The work exemplifies
the crucial importance of interdisciplinary research and makes a compelling case for the relevance of the seasons to our daily lives, scientific understanding, diverse cultural practices, and politics.
