- Double-weighted statement
- This book presents a detailed discussion of the concepts of alienation and nature in the context of environmental philosophy, so as to provide an original and defensible account of what it is to be alienated from nature, and of how this notion can be used to capture a range of different environmental concerns. It is approximately 118,000 words long (pp. ix + 266) with seven substantial chapters, an introduction and conclusion. Engaging with a range of philosophical traditions, including pragmatism, phenomenology, liberalism, Marxism and Critical Theory, as well as environmental ethics, it is the culmination of work commenced in 2007.

- Additional information
- As detailed in the Acknowledgments, parts of the book expand upon previously published work. Altogether that material submitted to REF2014 comprises approximately 30,000 words. Here it is dealt with in greater detail, in relation to more arguments and distributed across chapters, which are not structured as a series of articles glued together. Much of the additional material discusses connections between different senses of alienation in different contexts, the resulting relational picture constituting the conception of alienation from nature defended in the book. It also encompasses a wide range of positions in environmental ethics and politics not discussed in previous publications.
