Description
Greening Philosophy of Religion: Process, Ecology, and Ethics develops fruitful avenues for the theory and practice of greening philosophy of religion. Collected with a pluralistic conception of both philosophy and religion, the chapters in this volume address pressing and timely issues that involve imagining ecological democracy as an ideal horizon for facing climate catastrophe, with a radical hope and sober vision for realizing a more sustainable planetary economy that places a high value on food sovereignty, an ethic of trust, and inter-religious conversations. Edited by Jea Sophia Oh and John Quiring, this book offers a vital contribution to the fields of philosophy of religion, environmental ethics, religion and ecology, comparative philosophy, and ecotheology—all tuned to the note of process thinking and a deep ecological sensibility.

Reviews
-
Greening Philosophy of Religion: Process, Ecology, and Ethics is a welcome collection of essays that moves in two directions. Either, they start with problems in philosophy of religion (or theology) and move toward the problems treated in environmental ethics, or they start with topics in environmental ethics and explore the philosophical/theological dimensions of these problems that are usually left in an implicit state. Further, the processual character of these two movements is explicated in several illuminating ways. Ecophilosophers, ecotheologians, and those who are taken by the spiritual dimensions of nature and naturalism will all benefit from this book.

Through the wise guidance of Oh and Quiring, Greening Philosophy of Religion: Process, Ecology, and Ethics breaks out of its detached abstraction, branching into a deep green collective of comparative, aesthetic, and ecological embodiment.

Since the birth of environmental philosophy, theology, and ethics in the early 1970’s, Whitehead’s ‘philosophy of organism’ has functioned as a metaphysical midwife whose various ecological insights continue to nurture the “greening” of our disciplines. Greening Philosophy of Religion in particular is one of the most exciting developments indebted to the rich soil of process metaphysics. The chapters of this volume grow together as if in a garden and make a significant contribution to “greening” discourse.
