Thinking Like a Mall
Book • 2015
Steven Vogel's 'Thinking Like a Mall' (a play on Aldo Leopold's phrase) interrogates contemporary environmental attitudes by examining how modern spaces and economies reshape human relationships to nature.
Vogel applies philosophical analysis to the ways built environments and consumer culture distance people from ecological thinking.
The book challenges romanticized notions of wilderness and argues for rethinking environmental ethics within everyday, urban contexts.
By doing so, Vogel asks readers to consider responsibility and relationality beyond preserved natural enclaves.
The work contributes to environmental philosophy by bridging theory with critiques of contemporary social and economic structures.
