Description
Summary:Environmental political theory, beyond the diversity of theoretical approaches and disciplinary specificities, proposes a reflection on the necessary adjustments of the project of modern democracy in front of the global environmental limits we have to face. However, this theoretical proposal minimizes some of the consequences of its own findings, by formulating spatial and temporal contradictions and reconstructing artificial separations between constraints. The article presents some blind spots of the EPT (horizontality, user-friendly self-regulation, renunciation, continuity of political time, relegating violence). Using Günther Anders' theoretical perspective, this article questions the risks of such minimization. And it attempts to highlight this discrepancy between the original, critical and reformist intention of the EPT and the management of the consequences of these proposals.
