In response to the confluence of moral uncertainty with the
increase of human power to alter nature, and through critical
integration of the philosophical naturalism of Hans Jonas and the
religious naturalism of James M. Gustafson, The Tangled Bank argues
for an ecotheological ethics of responsible participation. By
making the case that contemporary moral pressures call for a vision
that is as deeply naturalistic as it is theological, a critical
perspective is advanced that is attuned to human embeddedness
within nature as well as to human distinctiveness. In support of
this, a moral anthropological method is deployed as a creative new
way to integrate the comparative, critical, and constructive tasks
of theological ethics. The insights of Hans Jonas and James M.
Gustafson, interpreted comparatively for the rst time, are
critically drawn together to suggest new directions for scholarship
and teaching in theology, religion, and science studies. "In his
elegantly written book, Michael Hogue insightfully compares two
leading gures dedicated to reconstructing ethics in the light of
our environmental situation, the philosopher Hans Jonas and James
M. Gustafson, a Christian theologian.... This book is a welcome
addition to religious and philosophical re ection on ecology and
ethics. I heartily commend it to anyone and everyone engaged with
the pressing moral challenges we all now face." - William
Schweiker, author of 'Theological Ethics and Global Dynamics'
"Michael Hogue takes the interaction between environmental and
Christian ethics to a new and satisfying level.... He writes with
clarity, grace, depth, and humour." - John Opie, author of
'Nature's Nation' "Michael Hogue breaks down the usual stereotypes
about the value of philosophy and theology and challenges his
readers to expand our ideas about how to live on Earth. Scholarly
yet lucidly written and engaging, this book charts new territory in
environmental thinking." - Jerome A. Stone, author of 'The
Minimalist Vision of Transcendence' Michael S. Hogue is Assistant
Professor of Theology at Meadville Lombard Theological School
(Chicago, Illinois). He is the author of 'Varieties of Religious
Ethics and the Vulnerability of Life' (forthcoming).
