Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Kohei Saito’s work Marx in the Anthropocene, placing it against the broader background of the discussion of Marx’s ecological thought and explaining the basic assumptions of metabolic scratch theory. The main thread of the book on which the author focuses, however, is Saito’s critique of contempo-rary ecocritical monist conceptions (binding the orders of nature and culture into a unity). As she shows, Marx’s methodological dualism is better able to identify ways out of the ecological crisis
