Reviews
"Deconstructive postmodernism does not appear to encourage intense attention to the natural world, and for the most part we have expected little leadership in ecological matters from those who follow it. Perhaps the greatest importance of this book is that it signals a change. The joining of deconstructive analysis of our heritage and the love of our fellow creatures contributes richly to this collection. Those of us who believe that of all the crises we humans face, the ecological one is the most fundamental, can only rejoice at the infusion of new insight and energy into the call for a fundamental re-orientation of our psyches and our societies." --John B. Cobb, Jr., Professor Emeritus, Claremont School of Theology, The convenors and editors chose to focus on the relation between environmentalism and post-modernism, an increasingly important engagement for eco-theology., A remarkable volume, given the current debate and eco-crisis." OR "Ecospirit is cutting-edge work for just the right moment! Every direction taken in this collection moves the discussion forward in re-theorizing nature, our place in it, and our critical practices.
