The Open Veins of Modernity

Ecological Crisis and the Legacy of Byzantium and Pre-Columbian America

Contenu

This Element shows the ecological crisis due to modernity's colonial vision, of viewing Earth as natural resources and nonmodern cultures as passive or primitive. This led to the belief in intellectual maturity and infinite growth. This demands the need for decolonization of history and nature to mitigate humanity's existential threat.
