摘要

Provocative,playful,and enlightening,Simon Estok's The Ecophobia Hypothesis awakens us to ourselves with both compassion and wisdom about a psychological condition he calls ecophobia,which is also profoundly social,economic,and political.Estok defines ecophobia in his Introduction as"a uniquely human psychological condition that prompts antipathy toward nature"(1).Ecophobia,Estok also writes,can embody"fear,contempt,indifference,or lack of mindfulness"(1).It is,in a nutshell,an irrational fear of nature and a groundless hatred of the natural world human beings seem to have adapted and are suffering from whether they consciously recognize it or not.
