	Anarchist and Radical Texts/A Social Ecology
		While a social ecology sometimes loses its bearings as it focuses on specific social concerns, when it is consistent it always situates those concerns within the context of the earth household, whatever else it may study within that community.
		A social ecology is a project of reclaiming the communitarian dimensions of the social, and it is therefore appropriate that it seek to recover the communal linguistic heritage of the very term itself.
		A social ecology can give meaning to an ecological spirituality that will embody the truth of the religious consciousness, [33] which is a liberatory truth, however mystified and distorted it may have been for purposes of domination and social conformism.

	Social ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social ecology is, in the words of its leading exponents, "a coherent radical critique of current social, political, and anti-ecological trends" as well as "a reconstructive, ecological, communitarian, and ethical approach to society".
		Social Ecology is associated with the ideas and works of Murray Bookchin, who had written on such matters from the 1950s until his death, and, from the 1960s, had combined these issues with revolutionary social anarchism.
		Social Ecology locates the roots of the ecological crisis firmly in relations of domination between people.

	What is Social Ecology
		Social ecology seems to stand alone, at present, in calling for the use of organic, developmental, and derivative ways of thinking out problems that are basically organic and developmental in character.
		Social ecology calls upon us to see that nature and society are interlinked by evolution into one nature that consists of two differentiations: first or biotic nature, and second or human nature.
		Social ecology refuses to ignore the fact that the harm elitist society inflicted on the natural world was more than matched by the harm it inflicted on humanity; nor does it overlook the fact that the destiny of human life goes hand-in-hand with the destiny of the nonhuman world.

	Social Ecology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Social ecology claims that the environmental crisis is a result of the hierarchical organization of power & the authoritarian mentality rooted in the structures of our society.
		Social ecology emphasizes that the destiny of human life goes hand-in-hand with the destiny of the non-human world.

	social ecology
		Social and socialist ecology are influenced by the Enlightenment tradition of rationalism, so there is a greater value placed on reason than in deep ecology.
		Social ecology is more inclined to also think in terms of natural law ethics, seeing nature as a model for human society.
		A failure to recognize that humans are both social and natural beings; conventional society ignores the second aspects and certain ecological groups such as deep ecology ignore the first aspect.

	Social Ecology and "the man question" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		According to social ecology, the organic evolution of humans - eurocentered ones he means, toward awareness of their 'free nature' demands recovery of this repressed sociability - a 'recollection' as Frankfurt Marxists say; for poststructuralist Julia Kristeva, a renewal of the semiotic.
		While she agrees that ecofeminism coincides with the communitarian emphasis of social ecology, and with the ecological struggle of rural women in the Two Thirds World, Biehl is not happy to reinforce this convergence in Green thought.
		Social ecology distinguishes between statecraft, as a system of dealing with the public realm by means of professionalised administrators and their legal monopoly on violence, on the one hand, and politics, as the management of the community on a grass roots democratic and face-to-face level by citizen bodies...

	Envisioning Ecotopia
		The second praxis orientation that Social Ecologists follow in their attempt to restructure society is reformist in that it advocates active participation in the dominant institutions of society in an attempt to subvert from within.
		Social Ecology encourages methods often used by social change activists, from reformism to the building of alternative institutions countering and replacing the functions performed by present power holders.
		Social Ecology believes that the new sciences of evolutionary biology, quantum physics, and ecology offer a "more true" view of the world than traditional science because these new sciences tend to posit nature as a balanced system stressing interconnectedness, participation, and process.

	Red Pepper April 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Social ecology seeks to fundamentally transform society to abolish the nation-state and capitalism.
		Social Ecology is a politics that can inform this new political movement, not only because it draws on a clear theoretical vision, but also because of its hard fought and well won (and lost) battles over the past 30 years.
		Social Ecology is then firstly deeply rooted in an ecology itself, but it is one that places these struggles in a political and a historical context.

	The Library at nothingness.org/A Social Ecology
		Part of the social ecological project of comprehending "unity-in-diversity" is to theorize adequately this duality and the necessary experiential and ontological moments of alienation, separation, and distance within a general non-dualistic, holistic framework (rather than merely to explain these moments away).
		A social ecology's vision human freedom and "free nature" is closely related to its fundamental project of critique of the forms of domination that have stood in the way of human and planetary self-realization.
		A social ecology seeks to restore certain elements of an ancient conception of the political, and to expand the limits of the concept.

	Takis Fotopoulos - Social Ecology, Eco-Communitarianism and Inclusive Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Although such affinities are utterly repugnant to social ecologists, they are, nevertheless, implicit in the fact that both deep ecologists and social ecologists adopt a process of evolutionary unfolding and self-realisation and ground their ethics in scientific observations about the natural world, in natural 'tendencies' or directionalities.
		Social citizenship involves self-management structures at the workplace, democracy in the household and new welfare structures where all basic needs (to be democratically determined) are covered by community resources, whether they are satisfied in the household or at the community level.
		If social ecology is an attempt to understand the dialectical movement in society within the context of the larger dialectic of society and nature, ecocommunitarianism is the project of creating a way of life consonant with that understanding.

	Harbinger - Social Ecology and Social Movements
		Social ecologists have played an important catalytic role in many of the pivotal social and ecological movements of the past four decades.
		The explosive implications of an ecological approach arise not only because ecology is intrinsically a critical science—critical on a scale that the most radical systems of political economy have failed to attain—but also because it is an integrative and reconstructive science.

	Social Ecology Eclectic
		Social ecology brings together so many poles that rarely meet: the arts and sciences; critical thinking, reflexivity, passion and intuition; rationality and spirituality; the stories of the ancients, systems theory and chaos theory; plus an extensive list of disciplines.
		Social ecology is a transdiciplinary metafield that is particularly informed by ecology, psychology and health studies, sociology and cultural studies, the creative arts, holistic sciences, appropriate technology, post-structuralism and critical theory, ecofeminism, ecopolitics, ecological economics, peace and futures studies, applied philosophy and spirituality.
		Social ecology has been labelled by some of its critics as overly anthropocentric and contrasted with the supposedly more biocentric deep ecology perspective of Arne Naess and followers (Naess 1989).

	Murray Bookchin - Comments on the "Deep Social Ecology" of John Clark
		For quite some time, in fact, Clark's writings in the deep ecology and anarchist press had already been fundamentally at odds with social ecology and were blurring major differences between the two tendencies, at a time when it is of essential importance to distinguish them clearly.
		I refer to serious social ecologists who are not fixated on "what is" but are concerned with truth, rationality, and "what should be," a broader vision of a future world that is more than a collection of food coops, communes, and crash pads.
		To examine what is at issue in the problems of municipalism, confederalism, citizenship, the social, and the political, we must ground these notions in a historical background where we can locate the meaning of the city (properly conceived in distinction to the megalopolis), the citizen, and the political sphere in the human condition.
