In this book, Guattari focus in the three ecologies in his conception of Ecosophy. Guattari’s argument that we have an erroneous conception of ecology of environmental struggle, he proposes ideas such as difference of opinion, political dissidence, Action to stand out again and Result of this action , break-up and the number of components in a system (such as a multiple or a group of energy levels). Also he proposes ideas such as strategies or processes towards a reconstruction of social and individual practices of Ecosophy.
“There is at least a risk that there will be no more human history unless humanity undertakes a radical reconsideration of itself”.
He presents the problem of logical disequilibrium, which threatens the continuation …show more content…
Social ecology : a critique of current social, political, and anti-ecological trends, it espouses a reconstructive, ecological, communitarian, and ethical approach to society .
Human ecology : study of the relationship between humans and their natural, social, and built environments .
Environmental ecology : is the study of the evolutionary basis for animal behavior due to ecological pressures
Guattari focuses in “The Three Ecologies, “on his idea of Ecosophy. He argues that it encompasses the ethic-political articulation in three ecologies called the environment, social relations and human subjectivity. The majority of the text focuses on the third ecology, as without a transformation in this ecology, any change in the others matters little. Without a change in the desire of subjects, it matters little whether or not the means of production are taken back, or whether the environment is "saved", as the conditions that lead to those realities will …show more content…
The subject is made up of subjectivities which affect and shape the subject. So too, is the subject a part of subject groups or social groups that make change. Shifts in subjectivity are molecular, and result in the becoming of the subject. Guattari believes that these molecular shifts have the potential to overcome the other ecological disasters. But, the pathway is not straightforward, and will require experimentation. It is in this experimental framework that the transformation becomes aesthetic rather than scientific. Like the artist, who is in the midst of a painting, must bifurcate in light of a mistake on the canvas, the subject groups must also bifurcate and transform the social. In light of former social movements this might require starting over - we may need a new canvas for a new painting. Furthermore, we must be careful, so as to not fall back into the destructive repetitions of capitalism and lead to further destruction. Instead, as Guattari
