Our new issue - Heresies and Sacred Cows - is now online!
This issue of Harbinger is dedicated to exploring what might be called social ecology “heresies” – new perspectives that critique, challenge, or rethink its prevailing “orthodoxies” and take aim at some of our political community’s sacred cows. To this end, we’ve sought out perspectives that we hope will productively stir debate and shake up our received wisdom. Much of Bookchin’s political and intellectual project was directed at analyzing, amending, and transcending traditions and thinkers whose ideas, in his view, had been rendered inadequate by changed social circumstances. Just as he astutely critiqued the left for clinging to outmoded ideas and strategies that did not speak to radically different historical circumstances, we must do the same. We seek to continue this tradition of self-reflexive critical theory and immanent critique. Our goal is not to rehash tired old debates or draw lines in the sand, but rather to foster productive new discussions that ensure social ecology remains politically and theoretically relevant, vibrant, and adaptive to an ever-changing world.
Read, discuss, enjoy, and share!
