Worldviews and Ecology: Religion, Philosophy, and the Environment

Bucknell Review

by Mary Evelyn Tucker (Editor), John A. Grim (Editor)

The increasing pressures on the earth community due to resource exploitation, population growth, and volatile social conflicts have raised the question of the need for creative rethinking of philosophical and religious worldviews in relation to nature and the environment. This volume is an attempt to address that crisis.

The theology is terrible wherever I'm qualified to make an assessment of it.* Ecological terms are used incorrectly (community). Things that don't exist are alleged to exist, such as "Judeo-Christian" civilization. All of the quiet parts are said out loud. Case in point: around page 100, in the Islam chapter, the author's message is that "every religion concerned with an afterlife needs to be done away with so we can squish ethics into worldly concerns with theological dressings to achieve UN agendas".

I'd say this is worth reading if you can find a cheap second hand copy. Relevant to Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, and also mysteriously sounds exactly like Bret Weinstein who is "against the man, man". Why do our anti-establishment IDW figures always end up selling us the establishment goals?! Golly gee. Idk.

*note for my deacon: please don't read me saying I'm qualified to assess anything.
