Description

This provocative sequel to the influential classic Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity presents a comprehensive critique of liberal political philosophy and the Enlightenment paradigm that has shaped modern governance. Ophuls argues that the foundational concepts and beliefs inherited from the Enlightenment are no longer intellectually defensible or practically workable in contemporary society. The book examines how our pursuit of individualistic, hedonistic, and rational living has created a multifaceted crisis spanning political, military, economic, ecological, ethical, and psychological dimensions. Readers seeking a challenging analysis of political theory, governmental frameworks, and the philosophical underpinnings of modern political science will find this work essential for understanding contemporary political dysfunction and the need for fundamental reassessment of our governing principles.

Key Features

Routledge publishes this critical examination of political philosophy and Enlightenment-era governmental concepts.

The book functions as a direct sequel to Ophuls's widely-read classic Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity, deepening his philosophical argument.

Ophuls contends that modern political paradigms rooted in Enlightenment thought are intellectually untenable and practically unviable for addressing contemporary crises.

The work addresses interconnected political, military, economic, ecological, ethical, and psychological dimensions of modern governance failure.
