In recent years, Carmody Grey has written several essays about Integral Ecology. These essays are now brought together for the first time in Dutch translation in one bundle. This makes an important part of her thinking accessible to a larger group of Dutch readers, including her recent essay Practices of Communion: The Task of an Integral Ecology.
About the Book
Carmody Grey fills the modern illusion that man is an autonomous being independent of nature. According to Grey, our dealings with the Earth are a little petri dish in which we can see how we unfortunately feel about ourselves: As cold controllers in a world of data.
Grey is forcing us to rethink radically. What is the philosophy behind our industrial agriculture? What does "holiness" mean when the Earth warms up? She proposes a new humanism, in which we recognise that we are fundamentally vulnerable and connected. What does being human mean? is indispensable to those who want to understand the causes of our current crisis and look for a way beyond despair.
Carmody Grey is a special professor at the Socires-chair Integral Ecology at the Laudato Si hindered institution, within the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religion Sciences of Radboud University in Nijmegen. It has built a global reputation in philosophical theology and theological ethics, with a focus on science, nature and environment
