Abstract
" Hide the causes of the crisis from us . I propose to examine together another way of reading the ecological crisis. Not by exposing the symptoms that scientific ecology has been scrutinizing for decades, but rather by identifying what structures the contemporary social and economic relationship of destruction of nature. We will seek to understand how the appropriation, domination and exploitation of nature stand in the way of the emergence of ecological thinking and its embodiment in social and political orientations. We propose to see the ecological crisis neither as a great inescapable disaster nor as the heralding of a great reconciliation, but as a philosophical and political battlefield.
