HOW DEEP
IS DEEP ECOLOGY?
From the 1970s on the Fifth Estate has been publishing writings about the crisis of Western civilization and its industrial/technological plague.
The essay How Deep is Deep Ecology? (FE #327, Fall, 1987) began a detailed discussion of these and related issues, a conversation that is at least as relevant today as it was decades ago.
See also the related debate in Was Malthus right? (FE #328, Spring, 1988) and its continuation in Letters to the Editor.
