Coming soon: The Real Paths to Ecocivilisation
Subtitle: From collapse to coherence: integrating science, spirituality and sustainability in the West
Ecocivilisation (Ecological Civilisation) is any form of human civilisation which has established a stable long-term balance with the ecosystem in which it is embedded and upon which it depends, and is therefore sustainable indefinitely. The final state or stage of the evolution of human social organisation.
Can western society create an ecocivilisation?
What might a western ecocivilisation look like?
What is the least bad route from here to there?
Could a new sort of movement be based on this concept?
Could it unite enough people to sustain the necessary transformation?
What could serve as the ideological foundation for such a movement?
The Real Paths to Ecocivilisation is an attempt to answer these questions. This is a book about personal and societal transformation.
Quote from final chapter:
"What would happen if we approached the ecological crisis with realism and acceptance rather than idealism and denial? What if we stopped focusing on global calls for change that rely on abstract unity, and instead concentrated on localised resilience, personal responsibility, and realistic expectations? This is not about saving the world in some grand, romantic sense. It is about dealing with the reality we actually face, understanding the boundaries within which we can act, and preparing ourselves for the storm that is actually coming. By focusing on what can be done within those boundaries we will maximise our collective impact. When enough people start dealing with reality on a personal and community level, larger systems can begin to shift."
What if the collapse of our current world is not the end, but the beginning of something far more meaningful? The Real Paths to Ecocivilisation is not just another book about the crisis. It’s a radical rethinking of our civilisation’s trajectory—from the dead-end of consumer-capitalist modernity to a living, conscious, ecologically grounded future. Rooted in science, open to spirit, and forged in the fire of lived experience, this book charts a journey from materialistic atheism to magical realism; from societal disintegration to a deep cultural metamorphosis. Along the way, it proposes a “New Epistemic Deal” to reconcile the best of reason, ecology, and human meaning-making.
You’ll encounter:
- A brutally honest look at the converging catastrophes of our time
- A visionary timeline from geopolitical breakdown to decentralised ecological flourishing
- A synthesis of cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom
- A powerful critique of modern ideologies—and practical alternatives for the world ahead
The Real Paths to Ecocivilisation invites you to think differently. The future may be stranger and more hopeful than we dare imagine.
