#084 - Ecopsychology and the Ills of Modernity (Andy Fisher)

Summary: Andy Fisher joins us to discuss the relatively new field of ecopsychology which explores the relationship between human beings and the natural world through the lens of ecology and psychology. We explore why human beings have become alienated from nature and why this matters, the difference between ecopsychology and plain old conservation politics, to what extent capitalism helps or hinders our relationship with the natural world, and if and how it's possible for both individuals and civilisation as a whole to reconnect with nature. *** SUPPORT US ON PATREON *** http://patreon.com/mowe ***
