Japan, like many other industrialised countries, is in dire need of
a change in treatment of the environment, as is evidenced by a
gamut of environmental problems. Its native religion, Shinto, can
be sufficiently isolated from other Japanese ideological traditions
in order to be considered separately from them, with beliefs,
values, themes, an attitude and a worldview that are specific to
Shinto spirituality, and in many cases already integrated into
everyday Japanese life. Shinto worship of spirits which permeate
the world is concurrent with a Japanese self-identification of
being 'at one' with nature. These beliefs can be shown to lead to
ecocentrism and potentially an holistic ecological attitude of
'respect for nature'. Such an attitude would be bolstered by the
Japanese importance of maintaining a 'mindful heart'. This book
aims to convince the reader that the beliefs and values exhibited
in Shinto spirituality could play a fundamental role in developing
a Japanese ecological attitude. It should be of particular interest
to those interested in Japanese culture, environmental ethics and
world religions.
