The work argues that different mainstream approaches tend to objectify the ecological by treating it as a uniform set of behaviors or techniques detached from its social contexts, based on dualistic assumptions. Drawing on an ethnographic case study of the Chilean island of Chiloé, the book explores the ecological as an embedded practice in which attachment, body and sociability play a critical role. The theoretical framework combines insights from authors such as Elinor Ostrom, Pedro Morandé, Robert Spaemann, Bruno Latour, strands of feminist theory and phenomenology, and especially Alasdair MacIntyre’s reflections on vulnerability and dependence. The central thesis is that ecological practice is sustained by a community \u003cem\u003eethos\u003c\/em\u003e of acknowledged dependence, in which vulnerability and need provide reasons to care and overcome instrumental rationality. By articulating the concepts of care, flourishing, limits and belonging, the book outlines a view of communities of everyday ecological practice that recovers the experience of the living as crucial for ecological politics at the local scale and beyond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer VS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-05-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783658512736\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-658-51274-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 294\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46313897001100,"sku":"9783658512736","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658512736.jpg?v=1779973262","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783658512736","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
