Delusions about the human in the Anthropocene

The Anthropocene is an ideological notion that establishes a false idea of a human-nature conflict. This abstract opposition conceils the complexity of how we understand human. The article suggests a change of focus from discussing what we do to the environment to what we do to understand what it is to be human which has consequences for our relation to the world. Instead of the Anthropocene reductionist understanding of the human-nature divide we should look at the activities that have defined who are considered human and what this does to the relation to the environment.
