From Chapter 1 of Radical Animal: "Nudge, Steer, Stumble, Dance: the intellectual battle for human nature"

Radical Animal is a "book-net" - a book-text that will emerge from my own researches, and others' participation in this: and once it appears, it will stay in dialogue and in evolution with those networks. To that end, I'll be posting some extracts from my main writing on this Ning site - and inviting response and dissemination from you all. This is a slice from Chapter 1, titled Nudge, Steer, Stumble,…See More

AN INTRO TO "RADICAL ANIMAL" & PRE-ORDER/SUPPORT THE BOOK

READ MY GUARDIAN ARTICLE LAUNCHING THIS SITE

 

"We radical animals face the barriers of the planet's carrying capacity. How to confine our illimitability – our creative and destructive capacity to reframe reality – within the toughest of natural limits?

"...A green politics has to be thinking passionately about zones of creativity and innovation for human beings, as well as the constraints and duties of low-carbon living. Otherwise the transformative dimension of our own nature will end up repressed and frustrated."
