Abstract In this editorial, we introduce the 17 papers that make up this special issue of Environmental Education Research on new materialisms and environmental education, and discuss themes of significance arising from this collection. The papers are grouped in the special issue under the following headings: (1) pedagogical/research orientations; (2) critiques; (3) dark endings?; and (4) concepts mattering; but as we show here and in our introduction to the collection, they can also be connected in multiple ways to any other and a range of other relevant topics. As with our Introduction to the collection, we trust this commentary provokes and inspires, if not energises and materialises the furthering of axiological pathways away from dominant onto-epistemologies of environmental education research.

新唯物主义和环境教育：社论

摘要 在这篇社论中，我们介绍了构成本期《环境教育研究》关于新唯物主义和环境教育的特刊的 17 篇论文，并讨论了该系列中产生的重要主题。论文按以下标题分组在特刊中：（1）教学/研究方向；(2) 批评；(3) 黑暗结局？(4) 重要的概念；但正如我们在此以及对系列的介绍中所展示的那样，它们也可以通过多种方式与任何其他和一系列其他相关主题相关联。与我们对系列的介绍一样，我们相信这篇评论会激发和启发，如果不是激励和实现价值学途径，则远离环境教育研究的主导本体认识论。
