Anne Frank's Tree. Nature's Confrontation with Technology, Domination, and the Holocaust

More about the book

Technology's pervasive influence is critically examined, revealing its role in dominating both nature and humanity. Eric Katz argues that this domination leads to estrangement from the natural world, resulting in a loss of meaning and moral agency in human life. He connects historical atrocities, such as the Holocaust, with contemporary ecological restoration efforts, highlighting the ideological underpinnings of domination in both contexts. Through case studies, Katz explores how science and technology perpetuate this ideology, linking environmental degradation with historical human crises.
