Against Nature

This book questions the nature of the business and social information systems so ubiquitous in contemporary life. Linking positivism, individualism, and market-fundamentalist economics at the root of these systems, it critiques the philosophical ground of this triumvirate as fundamentally against nature. Connecting counter-philosophies of the subject as a natural part of existence, with collectivist and ecological economics, it presents a complex view of the nature of Nature through which we might reshape our approach to technology and to our economies to overcome the existential threat of climate change.
