Shifting from the idea that our current 'environmental question' arises from the history of metaphysics and its focus on 'Being' over 'Life' - and the attendant explorations of the thought of Heidegger and Heraclitus - this book unfolds a philosophical and sociological proposal for transitioning towards the sustainability of life.

Positing that the 'environmental question' arises from the history of metaphysics, this book reinterprets Heraclitus' notion of physis as the fundamental, emergent potency of life, thus deconstructing the interpretation offered by Heidegger and stressing the struggle between the creative force of life and its subjection to the human Logos.
