I'm new to Bookchin.. I now come to him through hearing from Bayo Akomolafe and Donna J Haraway. What stands out as conspicuous so far is Bookchin's dependence on the concept "nature" to premis these ideas. I'm interested to know more about how (or if) Bookchin's work includes a critique of the idea of 'nature'.. and-or similarly to critique the concept of 'ecology' for really being an extension of the mechanistic mentation of white modernity (to reduce a processural, agencial and living world to that of mere parts and knowable relationships). Please forgive my struggle to articulate my inquiry here (dont shoot the inquirer 😆), but I'm very interested what others who have delved deeply into Bookchin may want to say about these questions I am raising.

Bookchin critiqued the idea of humanity as standing outside of nature. He saw humanity as nature becoming more self-conscious. He critiqued the static idea of 'nature' often drawn on by deep ecologists who he thought separated humans from nature. If you're interested in taking your research further there's a good book called Philosophy of Social Ecology which gives a thorough view of his nature philosophy.
