First sentence: The attempts of mainstream environmentalists to diagnose merely the existence
of environmental crisis have already failed to establish an epistemological
basis. Instead of insisting on the symptoms of ecological turmoil, examining
the perception and the reconceptualization of nature can help mapping out a
new route not only to reach the roots of the crisis embedded in the human
history but also to offer new alternatives for the reconstruction of the relationship
between human and nonhuman.
