is Ecological is an ambitious and thought-provoking work that challenges traditional ways of thinking about the climate crisis. Positioned w All Art is Ecological is an ambitious and thought-provoking work that challenges traditional ways of thinking about the climate crisis. Positioned within Penguin's Green Ideas series, the book presents a philosophical examination of environmental collapse, blending elements of popular culture, music, and art to deliver a unique perspective - which I personally love. Morton, often referred to as the "philosopher of the Anthropocene", takes on the monumental task of rethinking how we understand global warming and its effects, introducing the concept of hyperobjects —phenomena so vast and incomprehensible that they escape conventional reasoning.Morton’s writing can be dense and complex and definitely difficult to read. While his ideas, such as the concept of hyperobjects, offer original and interesting insights, the presentation often feels puzzling. The notion is a particularly valuable contribution to ecological thought, illustrating how concepts like global warming exist beyond human comprehension and control.At times, Morton tingled my linguistic playfulness, inventing terms and concepts that may not always resonate with the reader. His casual name-dropping of cultural figures like Björk, as well as his tendency to indulge in being self-referential, may come across as a bit too much.Despite these critiques, and the fact that Morton is definitely a pretentious boomer that writes for other pretentious boomers and embodies the spirit of pretentious boomers, Morton's central argument is compelling. He suggests that traditional ways of talking about climate change—such as focusing on individual actions like reducing energy consumption or driving less—are inadequate for addressing the scale of the crisis. He critiques the often hierarchical and moralistic approach that dominates environmental discussions, favouring instead a more complex, non-dualistic way of thinking that acknowledges the enormity of the challenges we face.The book’s strength lies in its ability to connect ecological thinking with broader cultural phenomena. Morton skilfully draws from various disciplines, weaving together philosophy, science, and art to create a narrative that reflects the multifaceted nature of our current environmental predicament. For readers interested in climate change from a philosophical perspective, All Art is Ecological offers an unconventional but intellectually stimulating approach. Nevertheless, the book succeeds in challenging its audience to rethink how we perceive and discuss environmental collapse, and it brings art into the conversation in a way that is rarely seen in ecological discourse.To conclude, this way a nice discovery and Morton’s ideas, while occasionally obscure, are nonetheless important contributions to how we grapple with the enormity of the climate crisis -and if you're interested in art, culture and philosophy, this is for you. ...more | notes Notes are private!
