The absence of outside and the refusal of the disaster: environmental crisis and dismissal of dualisms

We intend to discuss, in this article, the capitalist and environmental crises of today´s world based on the idea, developed by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt, that “there´s no outside” of today´s capitalism. We seek to develop some ideas that can contribute to think, in the current conjuture, the sckatches of an ethics and a politics based on the afirmation that, when we lose the idea of nature as na outside untouched by history, we lose something que that has never existed. And also that this lost constitutes only an negative index of a necessary movement of questioning the modern political categories that are no longer able to think the global crisis, not only of capitalism, but also of the environment.
