註釋"What is the proper role of humans in light of the ecological crisis? After a sympathetic and critical analysis of the principal answers to that question, Stephen Scharper argues that only a religious point of view - seeing human agency as central to both the devastation and the reclamation of planetary life - is viable. Such a view must include social, economic, cultural, as well as theological transformation in order to be effective in confronting threats to the ecosystem." "Among the principal answers or "paradigms" assessed by this book are the new cosmology, ecofeminism, process thought, Gaia theory, and liberation theology. Each of these recognizes the role of the human in the present environmental crisis. But each of these also approaches the "human problematic" in incomplete or inadequate ways. Thus, Redeeming the Time is both an examination of the state of the question, and a constructive effort at building among the various current paradigms and remedying, or redeeming, their inadequacies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
