Abstract
The text presents the extraordinary discourse and surprising grammar of the Anthropocene discussion. It introduces the most relevant terms making up the unique lexicon of the Anthropocene epoch. Much like the debate on the epoch of man itself, this lexicon has an interdisciplinary dimension. Terms which are used include post-nature, climatic divide, Gaia, eco-justice, human environmental rights, irrecoverable/irreversible loss, geohistory and Plantationocene, while in the text topics covering criticism of anthropocentrism, human agency and natural agency, all of which are so crucial to the Anthropocene debate, are discussed.
