Summary:

This book begins with the realization that we are quickly reaching the limits of global capitalism. This reality manifests itself not only economically and politically, but is at once a cultural, aesthetic, political, religious, ecological, and philosophical problem. While there are numerous scenarios of apocalyptic crisis and collapse, there is little or no comprehension of the problem. Drawing primarily from the discourses of contemporary continental philosophy, cultural theory, and radical theology, the new materialism is being offered up as a redress to this problem by its effort to make sense of the earth as an integrated whole.
