death of nature  

Definition(s)

  • The death of nature is an evocative metaphor that has been deployed by a number of writers and political activists in order to capture the form of modern social relations with the natural world. In his celebrated book, The End of Nature: Humanity, Climate Change and the Natural World (1989), Bill McKibben implicitly suggested this process of death in his argument that nature has somehow ceased to exist.
