Spirit of the Environmentbrings spiritual and religious concerns to environmental issues. Providing a much needed alternative to exploring human beings' relationship to the natural world through the restrictive lenses of science, ecology, or even morality, this book offers a fresh perspective to the field. The book addresses a variety of issues, including: the environmental attitudes of major religions; the relationship between art and nature; the Gaia hypothesis; and the non-instrumental values which have inspired environmental concerns. This is a vital collection for those eager to examine the relationship between the spiritual and the environment.
