Unconstructable Earth

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Unconstructable Earth by Frédéric Neyrat, published by Fordham University Press in 2018. This compelling new edition spans 277 pages and delves into the environmental humanities, critically analyzing what Neyrat describes as the Anthropocene fantasy—the notion that humanity can reshape the Earth through technology.

Neyrat challenges the prevalent belief that we can master our environment, arguing instead that the Earth inevitably eludes human attempts at control and transformation. Through a blend of philosophical inquiry and ecological reflection, this book invites readers to reconsider our relationship with the planet and the limits of technological intervention. Perfect for anyone interested in environmental studies or philosophy, Unconstructable Earth offers a necessary critique of our current ecological trajectory.
