书籍简介

摘要

蒂莫西·莫顿认为，在当今人类世时代，生态意识呈现出一种奇特的循环或莫比乌斯环状，扭曲成只有一面。在《银翼杀手》（1982）中，戴克发现自己可能就是奉命追捕的敌人，由此踏上了这条俄狄浦斯情结之路。生态意识之所以呈现这种形态，是因为生态现象本身就具有循环结构，而这种结构也是事物本质的基础。

农业社会的运作导致了全球变暖，并将关于生命形式的危险观念根植于人类的思维之中。《黑暗生态学》将我们置于一种奇特的、激进的自我认知之中，以一种远比我们想象中更为隐晦的方式，揭示了我们在生物圈中的位置以及我们作为物种的归属感。莫顿探讨了生态危机的逻辑基础，这种危机既弥漫着共存的忧郁和消极情绪，又随着我们对循环结构的探索而不断演变，最终呈现出一种戏谑、无政府主义和喜剧色彩。他的作品巧妙地融合了人文科学和自然科学，汲取了哲学、人类学、文学、生态学、生物学和物理学的理论和发现。莫顿希望重建我们与非人类生命的联系，帮助我们重新发现那份能够照亮我们所经历的黑暗而奇异循环的玩乐和快乐。

Summary

Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness in the present Anthropocene era takes the form of a strange loop or Möbius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this oedipal path in Blade Runner (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are.

The logistics of agricultural society resulted in global warming and hardwired dangerous ideas about life-forms into the human mind. Dark Ecology puts us in an uncanny position of radical self-knowledge, illuminating our place in the biosphere and our belonging to a species in a sense that is far less obvious than we like to think. Morton explores the logical foundations of the ecological crisis, which is suffused with the melancholy and negativity of coexistence yet evolving, as we explore its loop form, into something playful, anarchic, and comedic. His work is a skilled fusion of humanities and scientific scholarship, incorporating the theories and findings of philosophy, anthropology, literature, ecology, biology, and physics. Morton hopes to reestablish our ties to nonhuman beings and to help us rediscover the playfulness and joy that can brighten the dark, strange loop we traverse.
