Description
Religion and Ecology: Developing a Planetary Ethic by Whitney A. Bauman explores how our understanding of nature, religion, humanity, and identity is shaped by historical, political, and ecological influences. Bauman challenges traditional boundaries between concepts such as male and female, biology and machine, human and more than human, and religion and science, advocating for a postfoundational approach that prioritises hybridity and the interconnectedness of an open global community. This vision is rooted in cutting-edge insights from queer, poststructural, and deconstructive theory. By collapsing the boundaries between identity politics, environmental ethics, and planetary politics, Bauman offers a new framework for understanding and addressing the complexities of our pluralistic world.
