Abstract
The death of nature. Women, ecology and the Scientific Revolution is a classic work in the history of environmental philosophy and ecofeminism. This recent edition launched in June 2023 by Siglo XXI Editores Argentina, is part of the series Other possible futures, by Maristella Svampa, renowned Argentine sociologist and feminist. The first version of the book was published in English in San Francisco (California) in 1980, with the title The Death of Nature: Women, Ecology, and the Scientific Revolution. It was the first published and most successful book by Carolyn Merchant, currently professor emeritus of history, philosophy, and environmental ethics at the University of California, Berkeley. I wonder what new readers this work originally written forty years ago from the United States will find? What new relationships will emerge from this meeting?
