CONSPIRATIO: 6TH ISSUE

This issue of Conspiratio is devoted to “Nature.” As Raymond Williams reminded us long ago, “nature is perhaps the most complex word in the (English) language.” For all its complexity, nature remains a potent keyword to unlock many contested areas of contemporary life. The science of climate change records man’s degradation of nature. The worldwide pursuit of a green economy is justified by the necessity to mitigate those damages. The acrimonious disputes over gender, sex, and identity pivot on the question of human nature.  The dream of a post-human future is predicated on replacing the natural by the technical. I invite you, and those you know who may be interested, to submit articles on “Nature” broadly construed.
