Evidence

The rise of environmental ethics in the 1980s and 1990s, in particular, has been conducive to beginning the initial stages of shaking off not the discursive tradition itself, but its monopolistic grip over alternative narratives, although this critique, as I will argue in the next chapter, itself remains conflicted and uncertain of its method due to its inability to free itself from Enlightenment forms of rationality. — Wael Hallaq, Restating Orientalism, 360
