Abstract

At the beginning of the book, the intellectual-historical, economic, and structural causes of the increasing decoupling between nature and the economy are analyzed. The aim is to lay the historical and theoretical foundation for understanding the processes that shape our current relationship with the natural environment. Thus, the first chapter provides the basis for the entire book. It is intended to provide context and serve as a sketch—a sketch of how it came to be that humanity has seemingly forgotten nature. It should be noted from the outset that Chap. 1 already addresses many fundamental aspects that are then revisited and further developed in the following Chaps. 2 and 3.
