Environmental Philosophy | Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Описание: The first chapter of the Book of Genesis describes the human being as created in God's image and given dominion over all the animals and plants of the Earth. Some claim that the anthropocentric orientation of the Judeo-Christian tradition has led directly to the ecological devastation of the industrial and post-industrial periods. Seyyed Hossein Nasr pushes back against that claim, arguing that it's precisely the loss of religion in modernity that is at the root of our ecological crisis. In a world without God, human interests become paramount and we no longer regard the Earth as sacred. Nasr calls for a renewal of a religious sense of the sacredness of the Earth as the only solution to environmental degradation.

This is the topic of the tenth and final week of my online course, "The World Around Us: Philosophy and the Environment."
