520 _aThis counter-history of western thought explores how a Christian cosmology supported the conquest of paganism in Europe and the Americas, sowed seeds of climate wreckage, complemented capitalist ravages, and helped to conceal that wreckage. Connolly advances a counter-cosmology and political strategy indebted to pagan predecessors and recent minor philosophers in the west.
