Abstract
The foundations of environmental political theory build from Euro-American political theory and reflect a particular worldview that generates a set of epistemological and ontological assumptions that 'normalised' colonialism and might be charged with causal responsibility for the 'Anthropocene'. In this chapter, the argument is twofold. First, environmental political theory must examine its foundations and root out underlying conditions (such as epistemological and ontological assumptions) perpetuating oppression and domination of individuals and Peoples and their worldviews: specifically, worldviews that embrace concepts of human-nonhuman entanglement. Second, to address the 'Anthropocene' from within the same epistemological and ontological assumptions from which it arose is akin to defeat. The call to decolonise environmental theory is then a call to the pluriverse as an act of radical intervention within the systems of domination and oppression that the 'Anthropocene' represents.
