Abstract
In this commentary, I discuss how Napoletano, Urquijo, Clark and Foster engage with the work of Henri Lefebvre through three interlinked themes: the dialectical method, the nature–society problematic, and the concept of autogestion. I outline each of these themes and consider the importance of Lefebvre's interpretation of autogestion for an ecological politics which can reconcile human emancipation with resistance to the socio-ecological crises of capitalism and its destructive effects on the non-human environment.
