Ecogenealogy

This section explores literary, essayistic, and scientific writings from the 18th century through the mid-19th century that engage with ideas now central to ecological thought. It aims to trace the intellectual roots of ecological thinking by assembling key texts from this formative period. Each entry focuses on a specific essay or book chapter and includes:

a presentation of the selected text, featuring substantial excerpts;
an introductory overview offering historical context and cultural interpretation.

Where possible, and when copyright no longer applies, full versions of the indexed texts may also be archived for reference.
