在这本充满激情、清晰、令人惊讶的书中，蒂莫西·莫顿认为，所有形式的生命都是通过一个巨大的、错综复杂的网络联系在一起的。这种相互联系渗透到生活的方方面面。莫顿认为，任何存在、结构或物体都不可能脱离生态的纠缠而独立存在，“自然”也不可能脱离更丑陋或更合成的生命元素而独立存在。意识到这种相互联系就是莫顿所说的生态思想。在简明扼要的三章中，莫顿调查了所有生命形式都是相互联系的这一事实的深刻的哲学、政治和美学含义。作为一部环境哲学和理论著作，《生态思想》探讨了全球变暖时代对生态现实的新认识。莫顿以达尔文和当代生命科学的发现为基础，描述了一个由紧密相连的生命形式组成的网络——亲密、奇怪、缺乏固定的身份。作为他的《没有自然的生态：重新思考环境美学》（哈佛大学，2007年）的“前传”，《生态思想》是一本引人入胜且易于理解的作品，将挑战从批判理论到浪漫主义再到文化地理学等学科的读者的思维。
In this passionate, lucid, and surprising book, Timothy Morton argues that all forms of life are connected in a vast, entangling mesh. This interconnectedness penetrates all dimensions of life. No being, construct, or object can exist independently from the ecological entanglement, Morton contends, nor does "Nature" exist as an entity separate from the uglier or more synthetic elements of life. Realizing this interconnectedness is what Morton calls the ecological thought. In three concise chapters, Morton investigates the profound philosophical, political, and aesthetic implications of the fact that all life forms are interconnected. As a work of environmental philosophy and theory, "The Ecological Thought" explores an emerging awareness of ecological reality in an age of global warming. Using Darwin and contemporary discoveries in life sciences as root texts, Morton describes a mesh of deeply interconnected life forms - intimate, strange, and lacking fixed identity. A "prequel" to his "Ecology without Nature: Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics" (Harvard, 2007), "The Ecological Thought" is an engaged and accessible work that will challenge the thinking of readers in disciplines ranging from critical theory to Romanticism to cultural geography.
