This paper concerns the relationship between ideas, values, psy-chological habitus and behaviour on the one hand and ecological andeconomic structures on the other or what Marxists used to refer to asthe relation between base and superstructure. Ecological economics takes as its point of departure, biophysical limits to growth and the need for a curtailment and probably a reduction in the scale of human systems relative to energy and material flows through the biosphere (Daly and Farley, 2010; Brown and Timmerman, 2015). Such a profound transformation in the material conditions of life and corresponding social characteristics such as the extent of the division of labour and the overall level complexity, would inevitably engender paradigmatic changes at the level of ideas, linguistic and perceptual categories, average personality structures and socially sanctioned patterns of behaviour. But environmentalist advocates of simplicity or de-growth
underestimate the wider implications for liberal societies (Quilley, 2013). https://www.academia.edu/34948728/Wicked_Dilemmas_of_Scale_and_Complexity_in_the_Politics_of_Degrowth _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
