This chapter, "On Knowing What to Do: Environmentalism and the Modern Problematic," by Bronislaw Szerszynski, explores the challenges environmentalism faces in navigating the complexities of modernity. It argues that modern society's emphasis on scientific rationality and technological control has created a paradoxical situation where our very attempts to manage nature contribute to environmental problems. Szerszynski examines how this "modern problematic" shapes environmental thought and action, discussing the limitations of traditional approaches and suggesting the need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between humans and nature. He explores themes of risk, uncertainty, and the social construction of nature, advocating for a shift towards a "new ecology" that incorporates ethical and cultural considerations into environmental decision-making.
