Abstract

The article begins with an analysis of the inconvenient starting points for reflection on the Anthropocene, inspired by the position of Anna L. Tsing. Next, the interdisciplinary, normative and pluralistic field of ecological economics will be presented, with a particular focus on the concept of degrowth. The text will trace the “grammar” of this discipline, revealing its selected philosophical assumptions, methodological postulates and concepts. It will also look closely at Peter A. Victor’s concept of “management without growth.” It will seek answers to what degrowth is and why the cooling of growth is inevitable.
